KITZ (1400 AM "Megatalk 920 and 1400") was a commercial radio station featuring a talk radio format, simulcast with KGTK (920 AM) in Olympia. Licensed to Silverdale, Washington, KITZ served the Puget Sound Region, including Seattle and Tacoma. KITZ Radio, Inc. was owned by two gun-rights groups: the Second Amendment Foundation and its affiliate, the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms. Its main studio and production facilities were on Mile High Drive in Port Orchard.
By day, KITZ was powered at 1,000 watts, using a non-directional antenna. At night, there was a slight reduction of power to 890 watts. The transmitter was on Tibardis Road NW in Silverdale.[4]
KITZ and KGTK aired a mix of local and nationally syndicated conservative talk shows. Syndicated programs included The Dana Show with Dana Loesch, Brian Kilmeade and Friends, The Ramsey Show with Dave Ramsey, The Guy Benson Show and Good Day Live with Doug Stephan. Other programs, including Gun Talk with Tom Gresham, dealt with gun owners and their rights. Local programs included Outlaw Radio Network on Wednesday and Sunday nights.
