WALD is a daytimer station. By day, it is powered at 9,000 watts, using a non-directional antenna. But because AM 1080 is a clear channel frequency reserved for KRLD Dallas and WTIC Hartford, WALD must sign off at sunset to avoid interference. During critical hours, the station broadcasts at 2,700 watts.[1]
WALD programming is simulcast on FM translator station W254DG at 98.7 MHz in Scranton, South Carolina.[2]
