WOAI (1200 AM) is a San Antonio, Texas, news/ talk formatted radio station operating with 50,000 watts non-directional day and night from a transmitter site near Marion, Texas. It is owned and operated by San Antonio-based Clear Channel Communications, known as iHeartMedia, Inc. since September 2014, which acquired the station in 1975. WOAI is the flagship station for iHeartMedia. Its studios are located on Interstate 10 in Northwest San Antonio near Wonderland of the Americas Mall.
WOAI's local news operation features market veteran Jim Forsyth, Charity McCurdy, Cari Laque and Michael Board. Market legend Bob Guthrie, who was a WOAI news anchor for 52 years, retired in 2009.
WOAI's local programming includes San Antonio's First News with Charlie Parker and the Joe Pags Show.
WOAI is also the flagship station for the San Antonio Spurs radio network.
WOAI is known as the "50,000 Watt Blowtorch" of South Texas, because of its Class A, clear channel U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) classification. Like the handful of other clear-channel AM stations (not to be confused with WOAI's parent company Clear Channel Communications), WOAI can be heard all over North and Central America after sunset. In the daytime WOAI covers most of central and south Texas.
