WGBF (1280 AM) is a commercial radio station broadcasting a talk radio format in Evansville, Indiana. The station is owned by Townsquare Media with studios on NW 3rd Street in Evansville.
By day, WGBF is powered at 5,000 watts. But to protect other stations on 1280 AM from interference, WGBF reduces power at night to 1,000 watts, using a directional antenna. It broadcasts from a two-tower array near the intersection of Morgan Avenue and Burkhardt Road in Evansville. Only one tower is used for daytime non-directional operation.
