KZOT (1180 AM, "Yacht Rock 1180") is a radio station licensed to Bellevue, Nebraska, and serving the Omaha metropolitan area. It plays a soft rock format. It is owned by NRG Media.

Its studios are located at 50th Avenue and Dodge Street in Midtown Omaha. By day, KZOT transmits with 25,000 watts. Because 1180 AM is a clear channel frequency, with primary station WHAM Rochester, New York, KZOT must reduce power at night to 1,000 watts to avoid interference. It uses a directional antenna with a four-tower array. The transmitter site is on Sunnydale Road in Council Bluffs, Iowa, near Interstate 80.
