WFNO (1540 kHz) is a commercial AM radio station licensed to Gretna, Louisiana, and serving the New Orleans metropolitan area.[2] The station is owned by Crocodile Broadcasting and airs a Spanish-language hot adult contemporary radio format.
The transmitter is on Industry Street in Harvey, Louisiana. By day, WFNO broadcasts at 1,000 watts, using a non-directional antenna.[3] Because AM 1540 is a clear channel frequency reserved for Class A KXEL Waterloo, Iowa, and ZNS-1 Nassau, Bahamas, WFNO is a daytimer, required to be off the air at night to avoid interference, when radio waves travel farther. Programming is also heard on a 250 watt FM translator in New Orleans.[4] 97.5 K248BB can be heard around the clock, unlike the AM station.
