The radio towers and studio for KOZE AM 950, Lewiston, Idaho, as seen from across the river in Clarkston, Washington.

By day, KOZE is powered at 5,000 watts. But at night, to reduce interference to other stations on 950 AM, KOZE reduces power to 1,000 watts. It uses a directional antenna with a three-tower array.[2]

Most of KOZE's weekday programming is from nationally syndicated conservative talk shows. They include Doug Stephan, Glenn Beck, Dennis Prager, Michael Medved, Dave Ramsey, Jim Bohannon and "Coast to Coast AM with George Noory."

Weekends feature shows on money, health, pets, guns, cars, technology and real estate. Weekend hosts include Kim Komando, Dr. Ronald Hoffman, Ron Aninian, Warren Eckstein and "Somewhere in Time with Art Bell." Most hours begin with an update from ABC News Radio.
