By day, WSMM is powered at 1,000 watts non-directional. Because 850 AM is a United States clear-channel frequency, WSMM is a daytimer station, and must leave the air from sunset to sunrise to avoid interference with the skywave signal of the Class A station on 850 AM, KOA in Denver. WSMM programming is also heard around the clock on FM translator W229DO at 93.7 MHz in Maryville.
