KBOI (AM)

Studios and offices are on Bannock Street in Downtown Boise, while the AM transmitter site with its six-tower array is on Cloverdale Road in Kuna.

At night, power is fed to all six towers in a directional pattern to avoid interfering with WSCR in Chicago, the Class A clear-channel station on 670 AM.

In middays and nights, the station features syndicated conservative talk shows, including Dan Bongino, Ben Shapiro, Mark Levin, Michael Knowles, Matt Walsh, Red Eye Radio and America in the Morning from the co-owned Westwood One Network.

Weekends on KBOI include shows on money, real estate, home improvement, technology, law and gardening, as well as religious and paid brokered programming.

As network programming moved from radio to television, KBOI-AM-FM switched to a full service, middle of the road (MOR) format of popular music, news and sports.

KBOI was the contracted radio station for Boise State University Broncos football and men's basketball from 1973 through early 2008, with Paul J. Schneider as play-by-play announcer.

Schneider, an Illinois native who moved to Idaho as a teen with his parents and brother, was a KBOI Radio morning host from 1976 to 2018.

Walton, a native of Twin Falls, joined the program in 2001, moving from the morning drive show at Citadel-owned classic rock station KKGL-FM.

Idaho native Mike Kasper, the former morning drive co-host of Boise station KCIX, was hired by KBOI following Schneider's retirement.
