By day, WTMP is powered at 10,000 watts. But to protect other stations on 1150 AM from interference, at night it greatly reduces power to 500 watts. It uses a directional antenna with a three-tower array. WTMP's AM transmitter is on Cavacade Drive in Egypt Lake. Programming is also heard on two FM translators: W271DL on 102.1 MHz in Egypt Lake and W225CQ on 92.9 MHz in Tampa.
