KXNT is a Class B station operating on a clear channel frequency. WHAS in Louisville, Kentucky is the dominant Class A station on 840 AM. So KXNT must reduce its power at night, to avoid interfering with WHAS's signal. KXNT operates at 50,000 watts by day and 25,000 watts at night.

In 2008 KXNT filed an application with the U.S. Federal Communications Commission to move to a different transmitter site and decrease its night power to 10,000 watts.
