WSBA (910 kHz, "NewsTalk 93.9 & 910 WSBA") is a commercial AM radio station licensed to York, Pennsylvania. The station is owned by Cumulus Media, through licensee Radio License Holding SRC, LLC. It broadcasts a news/talk format. The radio studios are on Susquehanna Plaza Drive near U.S. Route 30.

During the day, WSBA is powered at 5,000 watts. At night, however, to protect other stations on 910 AM from interference, WSBA reduces power to 1,000 watts. It uses a directional antenna with a four-tower array at all times.[2] The transmitter is on Susquehanna Trail in York.[3] The towers are at 121.3 meters (398 ft) elevation with a height of 75.3 meters (247 ft). Their tops are 196.6 meters (645 ft) above sea level. Programming is also heard on 250 watt FM translator W230CQ at 93.9 MHz.[4] It is also simulcast on the HD Radio digital sub-channel of sister station 96.1 WSOX-HD2.
