KWRP (690 kHz, "Cruisin Oldies") is a commercial AM radio station in Pueblo, Colorado. It airs a rhythmic oldies radio format and is owned by Michael Hernandez, through licensee Western Radio, Ltd. The transmitter is off Oak Street in Pueblo.[3]

Because AM 690 is a Canadian & Mexican clear-channel frequency, KWRP is limited in power, broadcasting at 250 watts by day and only 24 watts at night. It uses a non-directional antenna. KWRP also broadcasts on two FM translators: K262BB at 100.3 MHz and K230BZ at 93.9 MHz.

Translators

In addition to the main station, KWRP is relayed by an additional translator to widen its broadcast area.
