WFLI (1070 kHz "The Big One") is a commercial AM radio station broadcasting a conservative talk and sports radio format. Licensed to Lookout Mountain, Tennessee, the station serves the Chattanooga metropolitan area. WFLI is owned by Tri-State Radio, Inc. It shares some programming with sister station WKWN 1420 AM in Trenton, Tennessee.

By day, WFLI broadcasts with 50,000 watts, the maximum for commercial AM stations in the U.S. As 1070 AM is a clear channel frequency reserved for KNX Los Angeles, WFLI must reduce power at night to 2,500 watts to avoid interference. It uses a directional antenna at all times. Programming is also heard on 250watt FM translator W241AF at 96.1 MHz. (which formerly carried WUSY-HD2) in addition to a second translator for coverage in areas located north of downtown Chattanooga, W262DQ at 100.3 MHz.
