By day, WWAC is powered at 1,900 watts, non-directional. WWAC's signal reaches from Toms River to Cape May. Because 1020 AM is a clear channel frequency reserved for 50,000 watt Class A station KDKA in Pittsburgh, WWAC must go off the air at night to avoid interference. During critical hours, WWAC is powered at 680 watts.

Programming is also heard on several FM translators around the clock: W267BP 101.3 MHz in Pleasantville, and W270DV 101.9 MHz in Palermo.
