WLQV (1500 AM) is a commercial radio station licensed to Detroit, Michigan. It is owned by the Salem Media Group and broadcasts a Christian talk and teaching radio format. It uses paid brokered programming where hosts buy time on the station and may seek donations to their ministries during their programs. Religious leaders heard on WLQV include David Jeremiah, John MacArthur, Alistair Begg, Jim Daly, Tony Evans and Charles Stanley. The studios are on Radio Plaza in Ferndale, Michigan.
By day, WLQV transmits with 50,000 watts, the maximum for American AM stations; to protect other stations from interference at night, WLQV reduces power to 10,000 watts. It uses a directional antenna with a nine-tower array. The transmitter is on Hazel Avenue near Dix Highway and Interstate 75 in Lincoln Park, Michigan.[2] Programming is also heard on 99-watt FM translator W224CC at 92.7 MHz in Detroit.[3]
