By day, WFTL is powered at 50,000 watts, the maximum for commercial AM stations. As 850 AM is a clear channel frequency, to avoid interference to other stations, WFTL reduces power at night to 20,000 watts. It uses a directional antenna with a six-tower array. The transmitter is near U.S. Route 27 in Okeelanta.[3]
