KEX (1190 AM, "NewsRadio 1190 KEX") is a class A clear channel AM radio station broadcasting from Portland, Oregon. As of 2005 it is owned by Clear Channel Communications and runs news/talk programming. Because KEX is a Class A station, KEX reaches most of Oregon (except Medford and other areas). At night, KEX reaches most of the western US, including parts of Canada, and as far as Pocatello, ID at times.KEX is one of America's older radio stations, licensed on December 23, 1926. Some sources show it may have originally started broadcasting on 670 kHz. On November 11, 1928, KEX started broadcasting on 1180 kHz under the terms of FCC General Order 40, then over a decade later, on March 29, 1941, the station moved from 1180 kHz to 1190 kHz under the terms of NARBA. KEX is an active member of the Portland Area Radio Council. [http://www.portlandradio.org]

KEX is currently broadcasting in HD Radio.

This was the longtime flagship radio station of the Portland Trail Blazers of the NBA. This ended in 2007-08 when team owner Paul Allen bought a FM station, converted it to all-sports KXTG (a/k/a The Game) and moved the radio broadcasts there.
