KUGN (590 kHz) is a commercial AM radio station, owned by Cumulus Media and broadcasting a talk radio format. Licensed to the city of Eugene, Oregon, it serves the Eugene-Springfield media market. KUGN partners with local CBS television affiliate KVAL Channel 13 for breaking news and weather coverage. National news is supplied by Westwood One News, a subsidiary of Cumulus Media.
KUGN broadcasts with 5000 watts, around the clock. By day, the signal is non-directional. But at night, KUGN uses a directional antenna to protect other stations on 590 kHz. The transmitter is located in Eugene off North Game Farm Road and KUGN's studios and offices are on Executive Parkway.
Listeners in the Springfield area can also receive KUGN programming on 102.9 MHz over K275AA, an FM translator. KUGN has a construction permit from the Federal Communications Commission to increase the translator's power to 250 watts from its current 35 watts. The improved power will cover Eugene, Springfield and the close-in suburbs.
On weekdays, KUGN carries nationally syndicated radio shows. The day begins with America in The Morning at 5 a.m. followed by Armstrong & Getty based at KSTE in Sacramento. At 10 a.m. KUGN carries Jonathon Brandmeier, followed by Michael Savage at noon. At 3 p.m. it's Mark Levin and John Batchelor is heard at 6 p.m. At 8 p.m. KUGN airs Sean Hannity.
