WTSB is a daytimer station. By day, it broadcasts at 9,000 watts non-directional, and at 1,700 watts during critical hours. But because 1090 AM is a clear channel frequency, reserved for Class A stations KAAY Little Rock, WBAL Baltimore and XEPRS Rosarito-Tijuana, WTSB must go off the air at night to avoid interference. Programming is heard around the clock on FM translator W288DH at 105.5 MHz.
