WXYT-FM (97.1 MHz "97.1 The Ticket") is a commercial radio station in Detroit, Michigan, serving Metro Detroit and much of Southeast Michigan. It airs a sports radio format and is owned by Audacy, Inc. Its studios and offices are located in the nearby suburb of Southfield.
It has an effective radiated power (ERP) of 15,000 watts. The transmitter site is off Greenfield Road near Interstate 696 (Walter P. Reuther Freeway) on Southfield's eastern side, co-located with the tower for WDIV-TV.[2] In addition to its standard analog transmission, 97.1 The Ticket broadcasts in the HD Radio hybrid format; with AM all news sister station WWJ (a CBS News Radio affiliate) on the HD2 sub-channel, and WXYT (a BetQL Network affiliate) on the HD3 sub-channel.
