Coverage and Programming

WTTZ-LP's antenna is located on one of the two towers on Television Hill in the Woodberry section of Baltimore.[1] Due to the height of the tower, the station, operating at just 4 watts, can be heard around the Baltimore Metro area.[5]

The station provides traffic and transit information from various Maryland state transportation organizations including the Maryland Transit Administration, the Maryland Aviation Administration, the Maryland Transportation Authority and the Maryland State Highway Administration, as well as the Maryland Port Administration and the Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration.[1][6]

The traffic and transit information is aired from 5:00am to 9:00am and 2:00pm to 6:00pm local time.[1] Outside of these hours, the station airs a Smooth Jazz format.[1]
