WADO (1280 AM) is a commercial radio station licensed to New York, New York. It is owned by Latino Media Network, and broadcasts a Spanish-language sports radio format.
By day, WADO is powered at 50,000 watts, the maximum permitted for American AM stations. But to protect other stations on 1280 AM from interference, at night it reduces power to 7,200 watts. It uses a directional antenna with a four-tower array. The transmitter is on New Jersey Route 120 in Carlstadt, New Jersey.[2]
