WMAC (940 AM, "News Talk 940") is a commercial Class B radio station in Macon, Georgia. It is owned by Cumulus Media and airs a news/talk format. The studios and offices are on Mulberry Street in Macon. It is one of the oldest radio stations in Georgia. WMAC is a primary entry point for the Emergency Alert System (EAS).
WMAC is a Class B radio station, operating from a five-tower transmitter facility on Forsyth Road (U.S. Route 41) in Macon. By day, a single tower radiates a 50,000-watt non-directional signal from Albany to the suburbs of Atlanta. But because it broadcasts on AM 940, a clear channel frequency reserved for XEQ in Mexico City, WMAC reduces its power at night to 10,000 watts with power fed to all five towers, concentrating the signal in Central Georgia.
