WTSB (1090 kHz) is a commercial AM radio station in Selma, North Carolina, and serving the Raleigh-Durham area. The station is owned by Truth Broadcasting Corporation and broadcasts a full service, Southern gospel radio format. It airs local news and information and high school sports as well as reports from the North Carolina News Network.
WTSB is a daytimer station. By day, it broadcasts at 9,000 watts non-directional, and at 1,700 watts during critical hours. Because 1090 AM is a clear channel frequency, reserved for Class A stations KAAY in Little Rock, WBAL in Baltimore and XEPRS-AM in Rosarito-Tijuana, WTSB must go off the air at night to avoid interference. Programming is heard around the clock on FM translator W288DH at 105.5 MHz.
