KFIR (720 AM) is a commercial radio station licensed to Sweet Home, Oregon, United States, serving the Willamette Valley. It airs a talk format and is owned by Radio Fiesta Network, LLC.[2]
By day, KFIR is powered at 10,000 watts using a non-directional antenna. It covers the cities of Albany, Corvallis, Lebanon and Salem during the day. But 720 AM is a clear-channel frequency on which WGN in Chicago is the dominant Class A station. To protect WGN from interference, at night KFIR greatly reduces power to 146 watts.
