The station is part of the Worship and Word Network and is owned by Glory Communications, Inc., based in St. Stephen, South Carolina.
It carries an Urban Gospel radio format including Christian talk and teaching programs.
WALD serves an area of South Carolina located between Charleston, Myrtle Beach and Florence.
But because AM 1080 is a clear channel frequency reserved for KRLD Dallas and WTIC Hartford, WALD must sign off at sunset to avoid interference.
[2] WALD programming is simulcast on FM translator station W254DG at 98.7 MHz in Scranton, South Carolina.
