WLBL-AM 930 Power Change Schedule

The FCC rules require WLBL-AM to transmit full-power (5000 Watts) only during daylight hours.

Lower night-time and Pre-Sunrise power levels are authorized – see below. All times shown are local standard (CST) or advanced (CDT) time.

“(n/a)” in the Pre-Sunrise column indicates that the Full-Power start time is the same or earlier than the Low-Power Pre-Sunrise start time allowed by law (6am at 500 Watts), therefore we transmit at full power.
