Als Clear-Channel-Station sendet er mit 50 kW auf Mittelwelle 1110 kHz und kann nachts im gesamten Osten Nordamerikas gehört werden. Die Station gehört Entercom.

WBT broadcasts 50,000 watts around the clock as the only Class A clear-channel station in the Carolinas. Its transmitter is in the southern part of the city off Nations Ford Road. During daylight hours it uses a single non-directional antenna and is audible in much of the central Carolinas. At night it uses a directional antenna that limits its signal toward the west, in order to avoid interfering with KFAB in Omaha, Nebraska, the other Class A station on the frequency. Even with this restriction, it can be heard across much of the eastern half of North America with a good radio. For many years, WBT boasted that it could be heard "from Maine to Miami" at night. (en)
