KCHN is a Houston, Texas AM radio station that serves mostly Asian listeners with a mix of Indian, Chinese, Mandarin, Vietnamese and Pakistani language broadcasts. Sports programming includes coverage of Houston Rockets games. The station also provides religious programs in Polish. It broadcasts on AM frequency 1050 kHz and is under ownership of Multicultural Broadcasting. ICNA has started a new radio program about Islam and Muslims. It will be on Sundays in the mornings from 10am-11am. The Spanish segment by Alejandro Hamed will be from 10:10am-10:30am. The rest of the program will be in English, including the youth segment.

Because KCHN shares the same frequency as "clear channel" station XEG-AM in Monterrey, Nuevo León, Mexico; it broadcasts only during the daytime hours. However, it holds a construction permit to operate 24/7 with a nighttime wattage of 650.
