WAFX broadcasts in the HD Radio (hybrid) format. Studios and offices are on Greenbrier Circle in Chesapeake. Most FM stations in the market are powered at 50,000 watts or less, but WAFX runs at 100,000 watts. It is a Class C FM station, with its transmitter off U.S. Route 258 in Windsor, Virginia, just far enough west to be in the Class C zone. Eastern Virginia is in the Class B zone, which limits the effective radiated power of FM stations closer to the Atlantic coast. WAFX's signal covers most of Southeastern Virginia and Northeastern North Carolina, and is audible from the suburbs of Richmond, Virginia, to Elizabeth City, North Carolina.
