At night, KTNN uses a special kind of antenna. This antenna sends its signal in a certain direction. This is done to protect the signal of another radio station, WFAN in New York City. WFAN also broadcasts on the same frequency, 660 kHz. Rules from the FCC (Federal Communications Commission) make sure that stations don't interfere with each other.
