KSLR transmits with 5,000 watts by day, but at night when radio waves travel farther, it reduces power to 4,300 watts. It uses a directional antenna at all times. The transmitter and four-tower array are off Rigsby Avenue (U.S. Route 87) in China Grove.[2]
KSLR airs shows from national religious leaders such as Greg Laurie, Chuck Swindoll, David Jeremiah, Alistair Begg, Jim Daly, J. Vernon McGee and John MacArthur. Several local San Antonio pastors are also heard. Hosts buy time on KSLR to air their programs and seek donations for their radio ministries.
