WJBO (1150 kHz) is a commercial AM radio station in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, calling itself "WJBO Newsradio 1150 AM & 98.7 FM." It carries a news/talk format and is owned by iHeartMedia, Inc. The studios are on Hilton Avenue, east of downtown Baton Rouge.
By day, WJBO is powered at 15,000 watts. But at night, to avoid interfering with other stations on 1150 AM, it reduces power to 5,000 watts. It uses a directional antenna with a four-tower array. The transmitter site is on Rosedale Road (Louisiana Highway 76) in Port Allen.[2] Programming is also heard on 250-watt FM translator K254DM at 98.7 MHz.
