WKFI (1090 AM) is a commercial radio station licensed to Wilmington, Ohio, and serving the eastern suburbs of the Dayton metropolitan area. The station is owned by Town And Country Broadcasting, Inc. It is simulcast with co-owned WBZI 1500 AM in Xenia, broadcasting a classic country radio format, known as "Real Roots Radio." News updates are provided by Fox News Radio and the Ohio News Network.[2]
By day, WKFI is powered at 1,000 watts using a non-directional antenna. But because 1090 AM is a clear channel frequency reserved for Class A KAAY Little Rock, WBAL Baltimore and XEPRS Tijuana Mexico, WKFI must sign off at night to avoid interference. Programming is also heard on FM translator W294CQ at 106.7 MHz.
