KITS (105.3 FM, "Live 105") is a commercial radio station in San Francisco, California. Owned by Audacy, Inc., it broadcasts an alternative rock radio format known as "Live 105". The studios and offices are co-located with formerly co-owned KPIX-TV on Battery Street in the North Beach district of San Francisco.[2]
KITS's transmitter is located on Radio Road, at San Bruno Mountain in Daly City.[3] It has an effective radiated power (ERP) of 15,000 watts, from a tower at 366 meters (1,201 feet) in height above average terrain. KITS broadcasts in the HD Radio format; its HD2 subchannel formerly aired a gold-based modern rock format as Classic Live 105, inspired by its previous long-time tenure in the format as Live 105, while their HD3 subchannel formerly carried "Radio Zindagi", a South Asian radio service. These subchannels have since been turned off.
