KTSM broadcasts with 10,000 watts around the clock. Because the station operates on 690 AM, a Mexican and Canadian clear-channel frequency, KTSM uses a directional antenna with a four-tower array to avoid interfering with other stations operating on the same frequency. Its transmitter site is located off O'Brian Street near U.S. Route 54 in north east El Paso.[2]
