KKNO (750 AM) is a commercial radio station broadcasting a brokered talk and gospel radio format. Licensed to Gretna, Louisiana, the station serves the New Orleans metropolitan area. The station is currently owned by Robert C. Blakes Enterprises, Inc.[2] It uses the slogan "Unmistakably Christian Radio."
By day, KKNO is powered at 250 watts, using a non-directional antenna. But because AM 750 is a clear channel frequency reserved for Class A WSB in Atlanta, KKNO is a daytimer. To avoid interference, it must go off the air at night. The transmitter is on Industry Street in Harvey, Louisiana.[3]

In 1993, it was acquired by Robert C. Blake Enterprises for $275,000.
In 2025, it was acquired by Equity Broadcasting from Robert C. Blakes Enterprises for $200,000.[6]
