WTWW is a shortwave station located in Lebanon, Tennessee.

WTWW, according to their website, stands for "We Transmit World Wide". It broadcasts religious programming at 5.83 MHz and 15.810 MHz. It airs oldies/classic hits at 5.085 MHz, with ham radio oriented programming also airing on this frequency on Saturdays.

WTWW, according to the FCC,^{[page needed]} was originally licensed a construction permit as WBWW on June 30, 2009. Testing began in January 2010 and ending mid-February 2010. Testing frequencies used were 5.755 MHz and 9.48 MHz, and recorded by several listeners who uploaded the audio to YouTube.^{[citation needed]}

Both the frequencies 5.755 MHz and 9.48 MHz and their transmitters were previously used by Christian shortwave outlet in Dallas, Texas. They also transmit on 5.085 MHz.

WTWW officially signed on at 1500 UTC on Friday, February 19, 2010 using the 9.48 MHz frequency at a low over-the-air power and streaming [1] with programming from the Scriptures for America broadcast network.^{[citation needed]}

In January 2010, WTWW (as WBWW) was licensed to operate at 100 kilowatts with an azimuth of 40 degrees, every day, on 5.755 MHz from 00:00 to 07:00 UTC and on 9.48 MHz from 12:00 to 19:00 and 22:00 to 24:00 UTC, targeting 4 and 9 (eastern Canada), 18 and 27–28 (Europe), 37–38 (north Africa), 39 (the Middle East), and 46–47 (western and central Africa).^[1]

Programming[]

As of 2020, two of WTWW's three transmitters carry religious programming from Scriptures for America, consisting of re-enactments of Bible narratives and the Christian radio drama Unshackled!. The other transmitter, which operates only during evening hours, operates as an oldies station, making WTWW a rare example of a shortwave station carrying a secular music radio format.
