KPNW (1120 AM) is a radio station broadcasting a News Talk Information format. Licensed to Eugene, Oregon, USA, the station serves the Eugene-Springfield area. The station is currently owned by Bicoastal Media Licenses V, LLC and features programming from Premiere Radio Networks, Fox News Radio, Westwood One, and Talk Radio Network.[1][2] It is the local affiliate of the Rush Limbaugh radio show.

KPNW was first licensed on May 17, 1962 on 1500 khz. It transmitted with a power of 10,000 watts daytime only and used a nondirectional antenna. It moved to the current 1120 kHz, increased power to 50,000 watts full-time and began using a directional antenna in May 1969. The directional antenna is necessary to avoid causing interference to KMOX in St. Louis, Missouri, which is the dominant Class A station on the same frequency.
