WFAW (940 AM) is a commercial radio station licensed to Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin, serving the Jefferson County and Janesville and Beloit area. The station is owned by Magnum Media, through licensee Magnum Communications, Inc., and features programming from Westwood One.[3] WFAW has a classic rock radio format.
By day, WFAW is powered at 500 watts. It slightly increases its power at night to 550 watts. Because 940 AM is a Mexican and Canadian clear channel frequency, to avoid interference WFAW uses a directional antenna with a four-tower array. The transmitter is on Finlay Road at Jacobson Lane in Hebron.[4] Programming is also heard on two FM translators at 96.1 MHz in Watertown and at 101.1 in Janesville.
