WWCS (540 kHz) is a commercial AM radio station licensed to Canonsburg, Pennsylvania, and serving the Pittsburgh metropolitan area. WWCS airs a religious format programmed by Overcomer Ministries. The station is owned by Birach Broadcasting Corporation through its chairman and CEO, Sima Birach Jr.
WWCS is powered at 5,000 watts by day. But AM 540 is a Canadian and Mexican clear channel frequency. So at night, WWCS must reduce its power to 500 watts to avoid interference. It uses a directional antenna at all times. The transmitter is off Angerer Road in Canonsburg.[2]
