WFLI (1070 kHz) is a commercial AM radio station broadcasting a conservative talk radio format. Licensed to Lookout Mountain, Tennessee, the station serves the Chattanooga metropolitan area. WFLI is owned by Tri-State Radio, Inc.

By day, WFLI broadcasts at 50,000 watts, the maximum for commercial AM stations in the U.S. But 1070 AM is a clear channel frequency reserved for KNX Los Angeles. So WFLI must reduce power at night to 2,500 watts to avoid interference. It uses a directional antenna at all times.[4] Programming is also heard on 250 watt FM translator W241AF at 96.1 MHz.[5] (which formerly carried WUSY-HD2) in addition to a second translator for coverage in areas located north of downtown Chattanooga, W262DQ at 100.3 MHz.[6]
