WCHR (1040 kHz) is a commercial AM radio radio station licensed to Flemington, New Jersey, and serving Central New Jersey and Eastern Pennsylvania. It airs a Christian talk and teaching format and is owned and operated by Townsquare Media, with studios and offices in Ewing, New Jersey.
By day, WCHR is powered at 15,000 watts. But at night it greatly reduces its power to 1,500 watts. AM 1040 is a clear channel frequency reserved for Class A WHO Des Moines so WCHR must avoid interference. It uses directional antenna with a three-tower array by day and four towers at night. During critical hours it broadcasts at 7,500 watts. The transmitter is off Locktown Road in Kingwood, New Jersey.
