Transmitter

In October 1995, WRFG increased its effective radiated power (ERP) to 100,000 watts. On October 23, 2007, the station improved its broadcast coverage area by operating from a new antenna and tower location with 65,000 watts effective radiated power (ERP) at 148 meters (468 feet) in height above average terrain (HAAT). [1] Its transmitter is atop a tower near Emory University, known as the Richland Tower site. It is shared by several FM and TV stations including WANF-TV, WPCH-TV, WATL-TV, WUVG-TV, WWWQ-FM, WZGC-FM, and WKHX-FM. WRFG's studios and offices are located in the Little Five Points Community Center, east of downtown Atlanta.
