WRZN (720 kHz) is a commercial radio station broadcasting a Christian talk and teaching format for the Gainesville-Ocala media market. It is licensed to Hernando, Florida, with its studios and transmitter on North Roscoe Road. WRZN simulcasts its programming with sister station WTMN 1430 AM in Gainesville, using the moniker "The Shepherd."
WRZN broadcasts at 10,000 watts by day with a non-directional signal. But at night, the station reduces power to 250 watts, using a directional antenna. AM 720 is a clear channel frequency reserved for Class A WGN in Chicago, so WRZN must protect it from interference. WRZN has a three-tower array off State Highway 200, just north of Hernando. Programming is also heard on 250-watt FM translator W278CI at 103.5 MHz in Oxford.
