WPTF (680 kHz) is a commercial AM radio station broadcasting a news/talk radio format. Licensed to Raleigh, the station serves the Research Triangle area of North Carolina. It is owned by the Curtis Media Group, with studios located on Highwoods Boulevard in Raleigh. WPTF's transmitter site is a two-tower facility off East Chatham Street, near Maynard Road NE, in Cary, North Carolina. WPTF is one of two AM radio stations in North Carolina, along with WBT in Charlotte, which operate fulltime with 50,000 watts, the maximum power for AM stations in the U.S. (As a Class A clear-channel station, WBT has more protection from other stations than WPTF, which is classified as Class B.) WPTF has a non-directional daytime signal from a single tower, which provides a grade B signal as far west as the Charlotte suburbs, as far east as Greenville and Jacksonville, and as far north as the Roanoke, Virginia suburbs. Much of the eastern Piedmont Triad, including Greensboro, gets city-grade coverage. WPTF switches to a directional signal at night from both towers that protects other stations on 680 kHz. Its nighttime signal is primarily required to protect the dominant Class A station on 680 kHz, KNBR in San Francisco, and also must avoid interfering with several stations to the north on 680 kHz, including WCBM in Baltimore, WRKO in Boston and CFTR in Toronto. Even with this restriction, at night WPTF can be heard across much of the southeastern United States with a good radio. To improve its nighttime coverage, WPTF programming is carried on three FM translator stations: 98.5 MHz in Cary, 98.7 MHz in Rolesville and 107.5 MHz in Smithfield.
