WFEA (1370 kHz) is a commercial AM radio station in Manchester, New Hampshire, airing a talk radio format. It is owned and operated by Saga Communications of New England LLC, which also owns 95.7 WZID and 96.5 WMLL. WFEA's studios and offices are on North Commercial Street in Manchester.

WFEA is powered at 5,000 watts, using a directional antenna with a two-tower array.[2] Its AM transmitter is on Danial Webster Highway (U.S. Route 3) in Merrimack, at its original studio building. One of the towers in the Merrimack array is a diamond-shaped "Blaw-Knox", a smaller version of the famous Blaw Knox tower of WLW in Cincinnati. Programming is also heard on FM translator station W260CF at 99.9 MHz.[3] The FM transmitter is on Mount Uncanoonuc in Goffstown. WFEA is simulcast on the HD2 digital subchannel of WMLL.
