WTLN (990 kHz) is a commercial AM radio station located in Orlando, Florida. It is owned by the Salem Media Group and it airs a Christian talk and teaching radio format. The offices and studios are on Lake View Drive in Altamonte Springs. Some of the national religious leaders heard on WTLN include David Jeremiah, Chuck Swindoll, Jim Daly, John MacArthur and Charles Stanley. Hosts pay for 30- to 60-minute segments on WTLN and can use the time to seek donations to their ministries. WTLN is known as "AM 990 and FM 101.5 The Word."
WTLN broadcasts by day with 50,000 watts, the maximum power for AM stations in the United States, covering much of Central Florida. It uses a directional antenna at all times, and must protect co-channel WMYM in Miami. At night, when AM band signals travel further, power is reduced to 14,000 watts, with its signal directional towards the east, to protect Canadian clear channel station CBW in Winnipeg. The transmitter is off Park Hamilton Boulevard in Pine Hills.[2] Programming is also heard on 225-watt FM translator 101.5 W268CT in Orlando.[3]
