250-watt FM translator station W277DT, 103.3 MHz, also carries WDRC programming for listeners in Hartford and adjacent communities.
The morning show is hosted by former Connecticut state representative Gary Byron, and includes interviews of local newsmakers and politicians.
The rest of the day features syndicated conservative talk programs, including Mike Gallagher, Dan Bongino, Dana Loesch, Ben Shapiro, Lars Larson and Red Eye Radio.
Dual-transmission stereo experiments were briefly revived in 1952, after WDRC acquired an FM sister station, WDRC-FM, that could act as the second transmitter.
[15] However, on November 11, 1928, as part of a major reallocation enacted by the Federal Radio Commission's General Order 40, WDRC was reassigned to 1330 kHz, again on a timesharing basis with WCAC.
[17] On November 23, 1930 WDRC made its last broadcast from New Haven, as the station prepared to restart the next month in Hartford, with new studios located at 11 Asylum Street in the Corning Building, and a new transmitter site at Bloomfield.
[19] It carried CBS's dramas, comedies, news, sports, soap operas, game shows and big band broadcasts during the "Golden Age of Radio".
[20] With the enactment of the North American Regional Broadcasting Agreement (NARBA) in March 1941, WDRC moved to its current frequency of 1360 kHz, now operating with 5,000 watts fulltime.
It was sold to the Concert Network in 1956, which changed the call letters to WHCN, as part of a chain of classical music stations.
In 1975 the Top 40 battle ended, when WPOP flipped to all-news radio and younger listeners started switching to the FM band for their music.
On March 5, 2014, Buckley Broadcasting announced that it would sell its Connecticut radio stations, including WDRC-AM-FM to Connoisseur Media.
The remaining stations: WDRC-AM-FM, along with 610 WSNG in Torrington, 1470 WMMW in Meriden and W272DO in New Haven, went to Red Wolf Broadcasting for $8 million in January 2018.
