By day, WGRI transmits 1,000 watts non-directional. Because 1050 AM is a Mexican clear channel frequency, WGRI must reduce power at night to 279 watts to avoid causing interference. The transmitter is near Interstate 71 in Covington, Kentucky, where the station was originally established and broadcast until 1960. Programming is also heard on 75-watt FM translator W276DD at 103.1 MHz.
