By day, WTWB is powered at 5,000 [[watt]]s. But [[1570 AM]] is a Mexican [[clear-channel]] frequency in which [[XERF-AM|XERF]] is the dominant [[list of broadcast station classes#AM|Class A]] station. So to avoid interference, WTWB greatly reduces power at night to 13 watts.<ref>[https://radio-locator.com/info/WTWB-AM?loc=28.11175%2C-81.62865&locn=Haines%20City%2C%20Florida Radio-Locator.com/WTWB]</ref> Programming is also heard on two [[FM translator]] stations: '''W224CF''' at 92.7 [[Hertz|MHz]] and '''W238CV''' at 95.5 MHz, both in Auburndale.
==History==
