SIGNAL COVERAGE AREA - DAYTIME ONLY

• Local Coverage: Within this area, you should be able to receive KTLV on almost any radio with moderately good to very good reception during the daylight hours.
• Distant Coverage: Within this area, the signal of KTLV may be weak unless you have a good car radio or home stereo with a good AM radio antenna. Reception with Walkmans or other small portable radios may be marginal.
• Fringe Coverage: Within this area, KTLV's signal will be very weak. You may be able to receive us during the daylight hours if you have a radio with a good AM radio antenna, but it's possible that interference from other stations may prevent you from receiving us at all.

• Distant Coverage: Within this area, the signal of KTLV may be weak unless you have a good car radio or a home stereo with a good AM radio antenna. Reception with Walkmans or other small portable radios may be non-existent. 
  

EXPLANATION OF DAYTIME AND NIGHTTIME POWER ON THE AM 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 towers. 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 low 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 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.  The initial page that will be displayed, can be bypassed by clicking the "continue to player.warpradio.com" link in the upper right-hand corner of the page. You will be directed to the main streaming audio page as seen below.                                          

A 1 minute commercial will play before KTLV's audio stream begins. A process called buffering occurs 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.  At various times of the day our on-air live signal is unavailable.  For the correct times please check our Program Schedule page.  Programs with a highlighted Blue background  ARE NOT available over the internet. 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.
