At night, power is fed to a three-tower array in a directional pattern to avoid interfering with WBT Charlotte, the other Class A station on 1110 AM.

At night, even though it must direct its signal north–south to protect WBT, it can be heard across most of the western half of North America with a good radio.

[7] On November 11, 1928, under the provisions of the Federal Radio Commission's General Order 40, KFAB was reassigned to a "clear channel" frequency of 770 kilocycles.

[8] In a shared-time arrangement, it could broadcast unlimited hours during the day but had to divide nighttime operations with Chicago's co-channel WBBM.

In March 1941, as part of the implementation of the North American Regional Broadcasting Agreement (NARBA), KFAB and WBBM were shifted to 780 kilocycles.

[14] KFAB relocated to Omaha as part of the frequency swap, originally with 10,000 watts, allowing it to still be heard at city-grade strength in Lincoln.

A few years after moving to Omaha KFAB increased its power to 50,000 watts, allowing it to be heard across much of the western half of the continent at night.

From its beginning KFAB has delivered a wide variety of programming, including news, weather, sports and farming reports.

The parents of nearly every school aged child in the area would listen intently as Kavanagh reported which districts were cancelled and which were not on snowy mornings.

[15] In addition to Carson, KFAB was and continues to be the home of some of the state's most popular personalities, including Lyell "Mr. Football" Bremser, Ken Hedrick, John Coleman, Walt Kavanagh, "Texas" Mary, Gary Sadlemyer, Kent Pavelka and Jim Rose, most if not all have been inducted into the Nebraska Broadcasters Hall of Fame.

At first, KFAB-FM largely simulcast KFAB; in the late 1960s, it switched to beautiful music and later became automated adult contemporary KGOR.
