WGRI (1050 AM) is a commercial radio station broadcasting an urban gospel radio format. It is licensed to Cincinnati, Ohio, and is owned by the Christian Broadcasting System, Ltd. (not related to the Christian Broadcasting Network).[2] The studios and offices are on West 7th Street in Cincinnati.[3]
By day, WGRI transmits 1,000 watts non-directional. Because 1050 AM is a Mexican clear channel frequency, WGRI must reduce power at night to 279 watts to avoid causing interference.[4] The transmitter is near Interstate 71 in Covington, Kentucky, where the station was originally established and broadcast until 1960. Programming is also heard on 75-watt FM translator W276DD at 103.1 MHz.
