WBLT (1350 AM) is a commercial radio station licensed to Bedford, Virginia, serving Bedford County, Virginia.[1] WBLT broadcasts a news/talk format and is owned and operated by Three Daughters Media.[6] WBLT simulcasts the programming heard on WGMN.

By day, WBLT is powered at 5,000 watts non-directional. But to protect other stations on 1350 AM at night, WBLT reduces power to only 47 watts.[7] Programming is also heard on 100-watt FM translator W283FH at 95.5 MHz.[8]

Notes

[edit]
  1. ^ License revoked and callsign deleted on October 1, 2003 due to improper filing of paperwork by then-owners WBLT, Inc. The station returned to air on December 29, 2003 and the violation was expunged in 2008.[3]
