By day, WWFE is powered at 50,000 watts, the maximum for commercial AM stations.[3] Because 670 AM is a United States clear channel frequency, WWFE must reduce nighttime power to 1,000 watts to prevent interference to the skywave signal of WSCR in Chicago, which is the principal Class A station on 670 AM. (The other Class A station on this frequency is KDLG in Dillingham, Alaska.)

WWFE broadcasts from a directional antenna at all times, with a six-tower array used at night.
