WBAP-FM maintains a transmitter site on Singleton Boulevard in West Dallas near the I-30–Loop 12 interchange.[2] It has an effective radiated power (ERP) of 50,000 watts, with its tower at 120 meters (394 ft) in height above average terrain (HAAT). This gives WBAP-FM a limited signal, with most Dallas FM stations powered at 100,000 watts, and with towers four times taller than WBAP-FM. It is licensed by iBiquity to broadcast a digital HD Radio signal. WBAP-FM stopped transmitting its digital signals in late November 2011 and resumed in early January 2012 before ceasing again in 2014. In May 2022, WBAP-FM resumed its digital broadcasts again.
