KKSF (910 kHz) is a commercial AM radio station licensed to Oakland, California and serving the San Francisco Bay Area. The station is owned by iHeartMedia and has an all-news radio format, with programming from the co-owned Black Information Network (BIN). The studios are located on Townsend Street in San Francisco's SoMa district.

The station's transmitter and two-tower array are located on Point Isabel in Richmond, on the San Francisco Bay.^[2] KDIA utilizes one of KKSF's two towers during the day. KKSF transmits with 20,000 watts during the day and 5,000 watts at night, using a directional antenna at all times. Because radio waves travel farther at night, KKSF must reduce its power after sunset to protect other stations on AM 910 from interference.
