By day, WISN runs the maximum power for commercial AM stations, 50,000 watts. To protect other stations on 1130 AM, a clear channel frequency, it reduces power at night to 10,000 watts and uses a directional antenna at all times. Its nine-tower array is located at 21423 Bennett Road in Dover, off U.S. Route 41.[2] WISN is also heard on the HD 2 digital subchannel of sister station WRNW (97.3 FM).
