WBKV is noted for being included in a grandfather clause allowing the station to transmit from the tower at 110,000 watts, more than double the otherwise allowable power for a station in the northeastern United States, which allows the signal to also serve the Greater Toronto Area to the north across Lake Ontario.
WBKV stands out for being exempt from reduced transmission powers due to an older regulation, which permits it to broadcast at 110,000 watts, more than double the usual limit, allowing its signal to reach the Greater Toronto Area across Lake Ontario as well.
