WAFS (1190 kHz) is an AM radio station in Atlanta, Georgia, broadcasting Catholic talk and teaching programs from the Relevant Radio Network.

WAFS is a daytimer Class D station. By day, it is powered at 25,000 watts, using a non-directional antenna. But it must go off the air at night to protect other stations on 1190 AM from interference. WAFS operates pre-sunrise (PSRA) with 350 watts and post-sunset (PSSA) with power levels from 54 to 150 watts. Formerly co-owned WNIV 970 AM broadcasts from the same tower, off Lenox Road NE at the Morningside Nature Preserve.
