WLAC (1510 AM) branded "TalkRadio 98.3 and 1510 WLAC", is a commercial radio station in Nashville, Tennessee. Owned by iHeartMedia, it broadcasts a talk radio format. The station's studios are in Nashville's Music Row district.
WLAC is a clear-channel station, it operates around the clock at 50,000 watts, the highest power authorized for AM stations in the United States. A single tower radiates the transmitter's full power during the day to most of Middle Tennessee. At night, it uses a directional pattern that limits its signal toward the west to originally protect KGA in Spokane (which has since downgraded its night signal) and to the northeast to protect WMEX in Boston. It has a three-tower array in the city's Northside neighborhood. WLAC broadcasts an HD Radio signal using the in-band on-channel standard. Programming is simulcast over a digital subchannel of 97.9 WSIX-FM and on FM translator W252CM at 98.3 FM.
