WNTN (original) (raw)

dbo:abstract

WNTN (1550 kHz) is a radio station licensed to Cambridge, Massachusetts, serving the Greater Boston area. It is owned by Delta Communications. WNTN is powered at 6,700 watts by day. But because AM 1550 is a Canadian clear channel frequency, WNTN must significantly reduce power at night to three watts. It uses a non-directional antenna at all times. The transmitter is on Birch Street at Bay State Road in Cambridge, while the studios and offices are on Fremont Street in Needham. WNTN broadcasts a community-based radio format that includes music and talk features. Much of the programming is aimed at the area's many ethnic cultures, including shows broadcast in Greek, Haitian Creole and Italian, as well as to the area's large Irish population. Weekend programming in English includes The Disco Dance Party and The Benchwarmers. (en)
