EXPLANATION OF DAYTIME AND NIGHTTIME POWER ON THE AM RADIO BAND

AM Radio stations are licensed and regulated by the Federal Communications Commission to operate at specific power levels during the daylight hours and nighttime hours. The power and signal strength is determined by the radio frequency and location of the station's tower(s). Daytime power is higher than nighttime power, therefore making reception easier and interference free. Atmospheric conditions at night, on the AM band, can carry radio signals many hundreds, and sometimes, thousands of miles. As a result, many AM stations, like KTLV, lower their operating power at night to prevent interference with other radio stations that broadcast on the same and adjacent frequencies (1210kHz and 1230kHz) in other cities, states and countries. Because the operating power is lowered after sunset, and before sunrise, the reception of the signal is limited to a certain geographical area and unavailable in others.

STREAMING AUDIO

Streaming Audio is a means of using the Internet to receive audio through a computer. KTLV uses a service called Warp Radio that provides KTLV's audio stream to your computer. By clicking on the Streaming Audio link your computer will be directed to the Warp Radio site which connects to our over-the-air audio.

A process called buffering may sometimes occur before you can hear the audio. Depending on your modem speed, the signal might play continuously or start and stop. We recommend a high speed connection for the best reception. Slower dial-up services will start and stop. This is a result of your computers connection speed, not KTLV's audio stream. The audio you hear will have a slight "flange" like sound to it. This is normal, as the audio being sent, is set to a low bandwidth so as to accommodate the variety of computer settings listeners have.

After you have successfully logged on to listen, adjust the slide volume control beneath the player screen to a level that is satisfactory. If you are having difficulty getting KTLV's audio signal on your computer, make sure your computer is correctly configured with all the audio and speakers enabled.

TUNE IN RADIO

Tune In Radio is one of many third-party services that provides audio streaming services to smart phones and tablets. Download the appropriate Tune In Radio app (or other service) for your phone (iPhone or Android), go to the search box, and search for KTLV and save it to your profile. With this service you can listen on your phone at any time KTLV is on the air.



Ratings Information

         KTLV Radio DOES NOT subscribe to rating services such as Nielson ratings or other services that ascertain the demographic breakdown of our listening audience and audience size. Because of this, we are unable to provide information regarding the number of listeners, or the ranking of KTLV as compared to other radio stations. This information can only be obtained by the customer from other sources.
