WNNW (800 AM; "Power 800 AM/102.9 FM") is a commercial radio station licensed to Lawrence, Massachusetts, United States. Established in 1947 as WCCM, the station is owned by Costa-Eagle Radio Ventures, LP,[3] a partnership between Pat Costa and the Lawrence Eagle-Tribune newspaper.[4] WNNW airs a Spanish-language tropical music format.[5]
WNNW's transmitter is off Chandler Road in Andover, Massachusetts. The station broadcasts at 3,000 watts by day; because AM 800 is a clear channel frequency reserved for Mexico, WNNW must reduce power at night to 244 watts. It uses a non-directional antenna at all times. WNNW is also heard on FM translator W275BH at 102.9 MHz, which also uses the same Andover tower as the AM station.[6]
