WARK (AM)

WARK (1490 kHz) is an AM radio station located in Hagerstown, Maryland, in the United States, it features a news/talk format including syndicated shows with Imus, Mike Gallagher, Sean Hannity, and Mark Levin.

During the 1960s and 1970s, while owned by Washington DC–based Rau Radio, WARK was a primary source for top 40 music in Hagerstown.

It failed within three months; the station was again playing Adult Rock on 15ARK as of May 1981, and made a last foray into a broader Top 40 format with "The Ark" in early/mid-1982.

After Nassau went into chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, WARK and WWEG, along with WAFY in Frederick, were purchased by Manning Broadcasting in May 2012,[2] with the sale being completed on November 1, 2012, at a price of $6.4 million.

[3] Manning's repurchase of WARK and WWEG followed a lawsuit against Nassau over missed payments.
