KKNO (750 AM) is a commercial radio station broadcasting a brokered talk and gospel radio format. Licensed to Gretna, Louisiana, the station serves the New Orleans metropolitan area. The station is currently owned by Robert C. Blakes Enterprises, Inc. [2] It uses the slogan "Unmistakably Christian Radio."
By day, KKNO is powered at 250 watts, using a non-directional antenna. But because AM 750 is a clear channel frequency reserved for Class A WSB in Atlanta, KKNO is a daytimer. To avoid interference, it must go off the air at night. The transmitter is on Industry Street in Harvey, Louisiana. [3]
On September 10, 1988, the station signed on the air. [4] As a construction permit, the unbuilt station was assigned the call letters KAIG on 1987-09-14. On 1988-12-12, the station changed its call sign to the current KKNO. [5]
In 1993, it was acquired by Robert C. Blake Enterprises for $275,000.
In 2025, it was acquired by Equity Broadcasting from Robert C. Blakes Enterprises for $200,000. [6]
