WZMF

WZMF is an AM broadcasting radio station licensed to the city of Nanticoke, Pennsylvania and serves the Wilkes-Barre, Scranton, and Hazleton radio markets with a Classic Hits format, switching from Adult Standards and Tropical and Spanish language adult contemporary format in December 2008. The station simulcasts sister WGMF located in Tunkhannock, Pennsylvania. WZMF broadcasts at a frequency of 730 kHz with 1,000 Watts of power during the daytime with a non-directional antenna. During the nighttime hours, the station must reduce its power substantially to just 12 Watts which limits its listen able area to just the local Nanticoke area. The power reduction at nighttime is required by rules set by the Federal Communications Commission in order to avoid interference from CKAC, a Canadian radio station also on 730 kHz. WZMF also broadcasts at a frequency of 104.5 MHz with 27 Watts of power from a site atop Dewey/West Mtn near Keyser Valley/Scranton, Pennsylvania which covers Scranton, Old Forge, Avoca, Dickson City, Pittston, and Jessup, Pennsylvania.
