By day, WCFO broadcasts at 50,000 watts, the maximum power for AM radio stations in the U.S. But because AM 1160 is a clear channel frequency reserved for Class A KSL in Salt Lake City, WCFO must reduce power at night to 160 watts to avoid interference with KSL and other pre-existing stations. WCFO uses a directional antenna in the daytime. The four-tower array transmitter site is off Arnold Drive in Austell, Georgia.[2]
