WTLA operates with 1,000 watts. Because 1200 AM is a clear channel frequency reserved for Class A WOAI San Antonio, WTLA uses a directional antenna at night to avoid interference when radio waves travel farther. WTLA's transmitter is off Davis Road North in Cicero, New York, near Interstate 481. WTLA also is heard on 120-watt FM translator W249BC at 97.7 MHz in nearby Mattydale, New York.
