By day, WTKA is powered at 5,000 watts, covering most of southeast Michigan. Because 1050 AM is a Mexican clear channel frequency reserved for XEG in Monterrey, WTKA reduces power to 500 watts at night to avoid interference. It uses a directional antenna with a four-tower array. The transmitter is on Stoney Creek Road in York Charter Township, Michigan.
