WNOH's studios and offices are on Norfolk Square in Norfolk, Virginia. The transmitter is off Nansemond Parkway in Suffolk, Virginia. WNOH broadcasts at 50,000 watts, the maximum power for the Hampton Roads section of Virginia, although a few FM stations in the market are powered at 100,000 watts if their towers are located near or over the North Carolina state line. (WGH-FM is grandfathered at 74,000 watts.)
WNOH broadcasts in the HD Radio format; its HD2 subchannel carries "K-Love," a contemporary Christian format from the Educational Media Foundation. Sometime in 2022, Master of the Mix was pulled from iHeartRadio, leading to the HD2 channel being turned off; the HD3 subchannel remained on before being turned off as the HD3 format moved to HD2.
