WCFO (1160 kHz) is a listener-supported AM radio station, licensed to East Point, Georgia. It airs a Catholic radio format and is owned by Atlanta Catholic Radio. Most of the programming comes from the EWTN Radio Network. It is one of two Catholic stations in the Atlanta metropolitan area. WAFS 1190 AM carries programming from the Relevant Radio Network.
By day, WCFO broadcasts at 50,000 watts, the maximum power for AM radio stations in the U.S. But because AM 1160 is a clear channel frequency reserved for Class A KSL in Salt Lake City, WCFO must reduce power at night to 160 watts to avoid interference with KSL and other pre-existing stations. WCFO uses a directional antenna in the daytime. The four-tower array transmitter site is off Arnold Drive in Austell, Georgia.
