WKFL is a Class D AM station. By day, it is powered at 1,000 watts non-directional. As 1170 AM is a clear channel frequency reserved for Class A stations KOTV in Tulsa and WWVA in Wheeling, WKFL must leave the air at sunset to avoid interference. The transmitter is off SW 112th Avenue at Interstate 75.[3]
