By day, WYSL transmits with 20,000 watts, the second-most-powerful AM station in the Rochester area. But 1040 AM is a clear channel frequency reserved for Class A WHO in Des Moines. So at night, to avoid interference, WYSL must greatly reduce its power to 500 watts. A directional antenna with a four-tower array is used. Programming is also heard on two FM translators: W221CL at 92.1 MHz in Rochester and W238DE at 95.5 MHz in Spencerport.
