By day, WNTP is powered at 50,000 watts, the maximum for U.S. commercial AM stations. But to protect other stations at night, WNTP reduces power to 10,000 watts at sunset. It uses a directional antenna with a four-tower array. The station's studios and transmitter facilities are shared with co-owned WFIL 560 AM on Ridge Pike in Lafayette Hill, Pennsylvania.
