WDAY (970 kHz "News-Talk 970 AM and 93.1 FM") is North Dakota's oldest radio station, having first signed on in 1922.[1] WDAY is licensed to Fargo, North Dakota, owned by Forum Communications, and operated by Flag Family Media. The transmitter site is near 210th Street South in Barnesville, Minnesota, and studios are on 8th Street South in Fargo.
WDAY's power is 10,000 watts, and its transmitter site has three towers. Two towers are used for the daytime directional antenna, and all three at night, in order to protect other stations on 970 kHz from interference. WDAY's daytime signal covers the eastern half of North Dakota, west central Minnesota, northeastern South Dakota, and southern Manitoba.[3]
