By day, WFNT is powered at 5,000 watts. But at night, to avoid interfering with other stations on 1470 AM, it reduces power to 1,000 watts. WFNT uses a directional antenna with a three-tower array. The transmitter is on FDP Drive near Bristol Road in Burton.

Programming included mostly syndicated conservative talk shows during the day and sports talk overnight. Most hours begin with an update from Fox News Radio. The station is also a partial affiliate of Fox Sports Radio.
