W222CL
Engineering data
WVOJ broadcasts with 10,000 watts by day, but because AM 1570 is a clear channel frequency, WVOJ must reduce its power at night to 30 watts to avoid interfering with other radio stations. 1570 AM is a Mexican clear-channel frequency, on which XERF-AM in Ciudad Acuña is the dominant Class A station.
F.M. translator
Programming is also heard over FM translator W222CL on 92.3 MHz.
