WNOV (860 AM) is a commercial radio station in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. It airs an urban contemporary radio format, with some weekday talk shows and urban gospel music on Sundays. The station is owned by the Courier Communications Corporation and is leased to a company called Radio Multi-Media. The studios are on West Capital Drive in Milwaukee.
By day, WNOV transmits 250 watts non-directional. As 860 AM is a clear channel frequency reserved for Class A station CJBC in Toronto, to avoid interference, WNOV reduces power at night to only 5 watts. The transmitter is on West Locust Street at West Fond du Lac Avenue in Milwaukee.[2] Programming is also heard on 99-watt FM translator W293CX at 106.5 MHz.[3]
