KDIZ (1570 kHz "Freedom 1570") is a commercial AM radio station licensed to Golden Valley, Minnesota, and serving the Twin Cities radio market. It is owned by the Salem Media Group and it airs a conservative talk radio format. KDIZ's radio studios are on Cliff Road near Minnesota State Highway 77 and Interstate 35E in Eagan.

By day, KDIZ transmits 4,000 watts; because 1570 AM is a Mexican clear channel frequency, KDIZ reduces power at night to 220 watts to avoid interference. The signal is non-directional at all times. The transmitter is on Lilac Drive North in Golden Valley, near Minnesota State Highway 100.
