By day, WMUZ is powered at 50,000 watts, the maximum for commercial American AM stations. During daytime hours, it uses a four-tower array as part of its directional antenna. Because 1200 AM is a clear-channel frequency reserved for Class A station WOAI in San Antonio, WMUZ reduces power at night to 15,000 watts, using a ten-tower array, to avoid interference. The transmitter is on Middlebelt Road at King Road in Romulus.
