K275CH's studios and offices are in the Alpha Broadcast Center on South Fifth Avenue in Portland.[2] The transmitter is located off Southwest Fairmount Boulevard, amid other Portland-area FM and TV towers.[3] K275CH broadcasts at only 99 watts while many Portland-area FM stations operate at 100,000 watts. Because the tower is 198 meters (650 feet) height above average terrain, a bit less than the Empire State Building, the station's signal is limited over Portland and its nearby suburbs in Oregon and Washington.
