By day, WGSP is powered at 5,000 watts non-directional. But to protect other stations on 1310 AM, it greatly reduces power at night to 240 watts and switches to a directional antenna. The radio studios are on East Independence Boulevard in Charlotte. The transmitter is off Bellaire Drive, near West Brookshire Freeway (North Carolina Highway 16) in Charlotte.
