WWL (870 kHz) is an commercial AM radio station in New Orleans, Louisiana, owned by Audacy, Inc. WWL and 105.3 WWL-FM simulcast a news/talk radio format with sports talk at night. The station's studios are in the 400 Poydras Tower in the New Orleans Central Business District. On January 7, 2024, Audacy filed a chapter 11 plan for bankruptcy with almost $2 billion of debt. WWL is a clear-channel, Class A station. Its transmitter power output is 50,000 watts, the maximum for commercial AM stations in the U.S. It uses a directional antenna with a two-tower array. The transmitter is in the Jean Lafitte National Historical Park in Estelle, Louisiana. The daytime signal provides at least secondary coverage to large parts of the Gulf Coast, with city-grade coverage reaching as far east as Pensacola, Florida, and as far west as Lafayette, Louisiana. At night it can be heard across much of the central and southern United States. WWL is the Louisiana Primary Entry Point for the Emergency Alert System (EAS). With sister station 101.9 WLMG, it is responsible for activation of the Southeast Louisiana EAS plan.
