WFAM

WFAM (1050 AM) is a commercial radio station in Augusta, Georgia. It has a Christian talk and teaching radio format and is owned by Wilkins Communications Network, based in Spartanburg, South Carolina. WFAM carries shows by national Christian leaders as well as local preachers. Hosts include Charles Stanley, David Jeremiah, June Hunt and John MacArthur. It is a brokered programming station, in which hosts buy time on the station and may use their shows to ask for donations to their ministries. By day, WFAM is powered at 5,000 watts using a non-directional antenna. But because AM 1050 is Mexican clear channel frequency, WFAM must greatly reduce power at night to 82 watts to avoid interference. The transmitter is on Laney Walker Boulevard at Hayes Drive. ()
