WROS (1050 kHz) is a commercial AM radio station broadcasting a Christian radio format. Licensed to Jacksonville, Florida, the station is currently owned by WROS, The Rose of Jacksonville, LLC.[2] WROS airs national religious leaders such as Dr. David Jeremiah, John MacArthur, Jim Daly, Chuck Colson and Dr. Charles Stanley. Hosts pay for their time on the station and may ask for donations while on the air.
WROS transmits in the daytime with a power of 5,000 watts, but because AM 1050 is a clear channel frequency, WROS must greatly reduce power at night to 13 watts to avoid interfering with other stations.
