The station shares studios and offices with sister stations WXZX, WCOL-FM, WNCI, WODC, and WYTS in West Columbus. WTVN's transmitter site is located in Obetz, Ohio near Interstate 270. WTVN began broadcasting in HD-Radio in June 2005. The station's programming is also heard on the HD-2 channel of co-owned WODC 93.3 FM.
WTVN's programming is largely made up of co-owned Premiere Networks' syndicated talk shows, including The Rush Limbaugh Show, The Glenn Beck Program and Coast to Coast AM live and The Sean Hannity Show on tape delay. WTVN utilizes two local talk radio hosts, Joel Riley in morning drive time and John Corby in afternoon drive. The format of the local shows usually consists of simple day-to-day "topics" in which listeners are encouraged to call to discuss their viewpoints or experiences.
Sunday mornings feature public affairs programming and two one-hour local shows, one hosted by Joe Cornely (Town Hall Ohio) and another a sports-themed show hosted by Dave Maetzold. The station also airs other syndicated programming, including The Mark Levin Show, The Kim Komando Show, In the Garden with Ron Wilson, Joe Pags and Ric Edelman. Some weekend hours are paid brokered programming. World and national news is supplied by ABC News Radio.
