By day, WSPD is powered at 5,000 watts, using a non-directional antenna. But to avoid interfering with other stations on 1370 AM, at night it switches to a directional signal with a three-tower array. The transmitter is on Oregon Road near Wales Road in Perrysburg Township.[2] The transmitter site still contains a small DJ booth - reportedly the original broadcast studio.
Programming is also heard on 144 watt FM translator W225AM at 92.9 MHz and on an HD Radio digital subchannel of 101.5 WRVF.[3]
