WLTQ (730 AM) is a radio station in Charleston, South Carolina.[2] It is owned by Mediatrix SC and it airs a Catholic talk radio format. Most of the programming comes from EWTN Radio and is shared with co-owned WCKI in Greer.
By day, WLTQ is powered at 1,100 watts, using a non-directional antenna. But 730 AM is a Canadian and Mexican clear-channel frequency. So to avoid interference, WLTQ reduces power at night to 103 watts. The AM transmitter is in the West Ashley neighborhood of Charleston, off Wappoo Road.[3] Programming is simulcast on 99-watt FM translator W294CJ at 106.7 MHz in Charleston.[4]
