WGR is non-directional by day; its night pattern is unchanged since the 950s, when they upgraded from 1 kW to 5 kW at night. It's a figure-8 imed north-northwest (at Toronto) and south-southeast. It has a very eep null to protect WKRC in Cincinnati and another to protect WDEV in ermont and CFNB in New Brunswick.
