WNTS (1590 AM) is a commercial radio station licensed to Beech Grove, Indiana, and serving the Indianapolis metropolitan area. It broadcasts a Classic Regional Mexican radio format and is owned by Marvin Kosofosky's Continental Broadcast Group, L.L.C. The radio studios and transmitter are located at 4800 East Raymond Street near Sloan Avenue on the southeast side of Indianapolis.

By day, WNTS is powered at 5,000 watts. Because 1590 AM is a regional frequency, it reduces power at night to 500 watts to avoid interference with other stations. It uses a directional antenna with a three-tower array.[2]
