KTSM (690 kHz) is a commercial AM radio station licensed to El Paso, Texas. KTSM is owned by iHeartMedia, Inc. and airs a Talk radio format. The transmitter is in the extreme north end of El Paso, and studios are located along Mesa Drive in west central El Paso.

KTSM broadcasts with 10,000 watts around the clock. Because the station operates on 690 kHz, a Canadian and Mexican Clear-channel frequency, KTSM uses a directional antenna to avoid interfering with other stations at the same dial position.

KTSM's weekday schedule is made up of nationally syndicated talk shows, with national news from Fox News Radio as well as local news updates.

History

Historically, KTSM's frequency was 1380 kHz. However, in 2000, while under the ownership of Clear Channel Communications (the former name of iHeartMedia), the station swapped frequencies with KHEY, the market's last AM Country music station. KHEY, now at 1380, currently airs a Sports radio format.
