WWNL (1080 AM) is a commercial radio station in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA. It broadcasts a Christian talk and teaching radio format and is owned by Steel City Radio, Inc. Programming is supplied by the Wilkins Radio Network. WWNL features local and national religious leaders, including Charles Stanley, John MacArthur, David Jeremiah and Michael Youssef. WWNL is a brokered programming station, where hosts pay for time slots on WWNL and may seek donations to their ministries during their shows.
By day, WWNL is powered at 50,000 watts, the maximum permitted for AM radio stations in the United States. Because AM 1080 is a clear channel frequency reserved for Class A stations KRLD Dallas and WTIC Hartford, WWNL is a daytimer, required to sign off the air at night. During critical hours, WWNL is powered at 25,000 watts. It uses a directional antenna at all times. The transmitter, with a four-tower array, is off Lah Road in Gibsonia, Pennsylvania.[2]
