WYLD (940 kHz) is a commercial AM radio station in New Orleans, Louisiana. The station is owned by iHeartMedia, Inc., and it broadcasts an urban gospel radio format, known as "Hallelujah 940" Some Christian talk and teaching programs are also heard.

By day, WYLD’s transmitter power output is 10,000 watts. Because 940 AM is a clear channel frequency reserved for Class A stations XEQ in Mexico City and CFNV in Montreal, WYLD must reduce its power at night to 500 watts to avoid interference. It uses a directional antenna at all times. The transmitter is off Tullis Drive in the Algiers district of New Orleans.[https://radio-locator.com/info/WYLD-AM Radio-Locator.com/WYLD]
