WNWR (1540 AM) is a commercial radio station in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It broadcasts a Christian talk and teaching format and is owned by Wilkins Broadcasting LLC. Program hosts include Jim Daly, John MacArthur, Greg Laurie and Charles Capps. The studios are at 200 Monument Road, Suite 6, in Bala Cynwyd.
By day, WNWR is powered at 50,000 watts, non-directional.[2] As 1540 AM is a clear channel frequency, to protect other stations from interference, at night it reduces power to 250 watts. The transmitter is in the Belmont Village neighborhood of Philadelphia, off Conshohocken Avenue.[3] Programming is also heard on 250-watt FM translator W237EH at 95.3 MHz in Pennsauken, New Jersey.[4]
