KVMI (1270 kHz) is a commercial AM radio station licensed to Tulare, California, and serving the Tulare-Visalia area of Central California. The station is currently owned by Momentum Broadcasting, LP, and it broadcasts a soft adult contemporary radio format, switching to Christmas music for part of November and December.
By day, KVMI transmits with 5,000 watts non-directional, but to avoid interference with other stations on 1270 AM, at night KVMI reduces power to 1,000 watts and uses a directional antenna. Programming is also heard on two FM translators: 97.5 K248BX in Visalia and 98.5 K253CI in Exeter.[3]
On, the station signed on as KCOK. It initially transmitted with 250 watts on 1240 kHz.[1] It moved to 1270 kHz in 1949, and increased power to 1,000 watts.[1] In 1963, the station's daytime power was increased to 5,000 watts.[1]
