List of 100,000 Watt Radio Stations in the USA
The strongest Effective Radiated Power horizontally allowed in the United States is currently at 100,000 watts. Depending on how that signal is mounted and the surrounding geography depends on how many miles in any direction that signal can reach. In some instances it can be hundred of miles.
As many of you know I am one of the best marketers out there and have continued to refine my marketing skills beyond the digital world also focusing on traditional advertising methods such as direct mail and radio advertising. One thing I am constantly looking for and can never find is a list of the biggest radio stations in America.
So I took the time to compile this list for my readers, fans, and followers:

To be continued… What I noticed is there are far more 100,000 watt stations then I had anticipated. Interesting to note that there are so many in Hawaii. My intention is to finish this list in its entirety soon and then organize it by the following data for those doing research on buying airtime or would like my consulting and advice for advertising:
- Genre
- State
- City
- Station Owner
*Anything with a star denotes a 98,000 watt station.
**Vertical ERP of 100,000 Watts
