By day, WFNT was powered at 5,000 watts. But at night, to avoid interfering with other stations on 1470 AM, it reduced power to 1,000 watts. WFNT used a directional antenna with a three-tower array. The transmitter was on FDP Drive near Bristol Road in Burton.[3]
Programming included mostly syndicated conservative talk shows during the day and sports talk overnight. Most hours began with an update from Fox News Radio. The station was also a partial affiliate of Fox Sports Radio.[4]
