KKOH (780 AM; "News Talk 780 KOH") is a commercial radio station licensed to Reno, Nevada. It airs a news/talk radio format and is owned and operated by Cumulus Media. Studios and offices are on East Plumb Lane. The transmitter is off Chickadee Drive.

KKOH broadcasts at 50,000 watts, the maximum power permitted by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for AM stations. A single tower is used during the day, allowing KKOH to be heard around Central and Northern Nevada and some distance into California, providing a strong grade B signal to Sacramento. But because 780 AM is a clear channel frequency, reserved for Class A station WBBM in Chicago, KKOH must broadcast a directional signal at night to avoid interference. It uses a three-tower array after sunset. Even with this restriction, it can heard in much of the Western United States with a good radio.
