KSPD (790 AM) is a commercial radio station broadcasting a Christian talk and teaching radio format in Boise, Idaho. The station is owned by Inspirational Family Radio.[1] The studios are on South Weideman Avenue in Boise.
By day, KSPD is powered at 1,000 watts, using a non-directional antenna.[2] But to protect other stations on 790 AM[3] from interference, it reduces power at night to 61 watts. Programming is also heard on 250-watt FM translator K233DE at 94.5 MHz.[4]
Programming
KSPD features a mix of local and national religious leaders as well as some secular talk shows. National hosts include Jim Daly, Alistair Begg, Chuck Swindoll, Joyce Meyer, Rick Warren, David Jeremiah, Greg Laurie, James Dobson, J. Vernon McGee and Adrian Rogers. Secular talk shows are hosted by Dave Ramsey, Charlie Kirk and Eric Metaxas.
KSPD uses a brokered programming plan. For Christian talk and teaching shows, hosts pay for their time on the air and may use their shows to seek donations to their ministries.
History
The station signed on the air on April 27, 1961Script error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters"..[5] It originally held the call sign KEST.[6] [7] In 1970, the station's call sign was changed to KSPD, representing the word spud, slang for potato, one of Idaho's major agricultural products. KSPD adopted a progressive rock format.[6][8]
By 1975, the station had adopted an all news format, which it continued to air into the 1980s.[9][10] By 1989, the station had changed to a Christian radio format.[11] In 2017, KSPD added an FM translator at 94.5 for listeners who prefer to tune in to FM stations.
