By day, WNWR is powered at 50,000 watts, non-directional. But 1540 AM is a clear channel frequency, so to protect other stations from interference, at night it greatly reduces power to 250 watts. The transmitter is in the Belmont Village neighborhood of Philadelphia, off Conshohocken Avenue. Programming is also heard on 250-watt FM translator W237EH at 95.3 MHz in Pennsauken, New Jersey.
