WDAK (540 AM) is a radio station broadcasting a news/talk format.[2] Licensed to Columbus, Georgia, United States, the station serves the Columbus/Phenix City/Auburn area. The station is owned by iHeartMedia, Inc. (as iHM Licenses) and features programming from Westwood One, Compass Media Networks, Fox News Radio and Premiere Networks.[3] It also broadcasts Columbus State University basketball and baseball games and Troy University sports events. Its studios are in Columbus, east of downtown, and its transmitter is southeast of downtown.
As 540 AM is a Canadian and Mexican clear-channel frequency, WDAK must reduce power during nighttime hours in order to protect the skywave signals of the dominant class A stations on the frequency: CBK, CBT and XEWA.
