This makes KYUS somewhat unique in that most other stations in the area are AM’s which must either reduce power and/or use a directional signal or must shut off completely at sunset.
KMTA 1050 AM reduces its power from 10,000 watts to 136 watts at sunset. KMTA’s signal remains omni-directional at night and reaches out approximately 35 miles in all directions from Miles City after sunset.
