WFNT (1470 kHz) was a commercial AM radio station in Flint, Michigan. It was owned by Townsquare Media and until December 31, 2023, broadcast a talk radio format.[2] The studios and transmitter were on East Bristol Road in Burton.
By day, WFNT was powered at 5,000 watts. But at night, to avoid interfering with other stations on 1470 AM, it reduced power to 1,000 watts. WFNT used a directional antenna with a three-tower array. The transmitter was on FDP Drive near Bristol Road in Burton.[3]
Programming included mostly syndicated conservative talk shows during the day and sports talk overnight. Most hours began with an update from Fox News Radio. The station was also a partial affiliate of Fox Sports Radio.[4]
