WOAI promotion refers to the station as the "50,000 Watt Blowtorch" of South Texas.[2] It is a Class A clear-channel station, broadcasting fulltime at the U.S. maximum power of 50,000 watts. In the daytime, WOAI covers most of Central and South Texas, providing at least secondary coverage as far north as the Waco suburbs and as far south as Corpus Christi.[3] With a good radio, WOAI's nighttime signal reaches much of the United States and Mexico, and parts of central Canada. However, it is strongest in the central United States. WOAI audio streaming is also available through iHeartRadio.
