WSPD (1370 AM) is a commercial radio station licensed to Toledo, Ohio. It broadcasts a news/talk format and is owned by iHeartMedia, Inc. The radio studios and offices are located in downtown Toledo at Superior and Lafayette Streets.
By day, WSPD is powered at 5,000 watts, using a non-directional antenna. But to avoid interfering with other stations on 1370 AM, at night it switches to a directional signal with a three-tower array. The transmitter is on Oregon Road near Wales Road in Perrysburg Township.[2] The transmitter site still contains a small DJ booth - reportedly the original broadcast studio.
Programming is also heard on 144 watt FM translator W225AM at 92.9 MHz and on an HD Radio digital subchannel of 101.5 WRVF.[3]
