WRNA (1140 kHz) is a commercial AM radio station broadcasting a Southern Gospel radio format. Licensed to China Grove, North Carolina, it serves Rowan and Cabarrus Counties. It is owned by South Rowan Broadcasting and is simulcast with co-owned WRKB 1460 AM in Kannapolis, North Carolina.
By day, WRNA is powered at 1,000 watts, using a directional antenna. But 1140 AM is a clear channel frequency reserved for Class A XEMR Monterrey, Mexico, and WRVA Richmond, Virginia. So to avoid interference, WRNA must sign off at night. During critical hours, it is powered at 250 watts.
