WMUZ (1200 kHz) is a commercial AM radio station licensed to Taylor, Michigan, and serving the Metro Detroit radio market. Owned by Crawford Broadcasting, the station has a Christian talk and teaching format.^[4] Religious hosts heard on WMUZ include David Jeremiah, Joyce Meyer, Alistair Begg, Chuck Swindoll and Adrian Rogers. The studios and offices are located near Burt Road and Capitol Avenue in the Weatherby section of Detroit.

By day, WMUZ is powered at 50,000 watts, the maximum for commercial American AM stations. During daytime hours, it uses a four-tower array as part of its directional antenna. Because 1200 AM is a clear-channel frequency reserved for Class A station WOAI in San Antonio, WMUZ reduces power at night to 15,000 watts, using a ten-tower array, to avoid interference. The transmitter is on Middlebelt Road at King Road in Romulus.^[5]
