WWRC

WWRC (570 AM) – branded AM 570 The Answer – is a commercial conservative talk radio station licensed to serve Bethesda, Maryland.

To encourage unique programming on the FM band, in 1967 the FCC prohibited AM-FM pairs in large markets (population over 100,000) from simulcasting each other for more than 12 hours per day.

Not only could these stations not afford to produce an additional 12 hours of programming daily, but their music needed to stay on AM as their older audiences often did not have FM radios in their cars.

By the 1990s, even though ratings were still good, the classical audience was aging, and there were reports that WGMS's owners were again considering switching to a more youthful format.

[10] The station aired a variety of conservative talk programs, including local hosts Michael Graham and Paul Berry, and syndicated shows hosted by G. Gordon Liddy, Bill Bennett, Monica Crowley, Mike Gallagher, Mancow, Glenn Beck, along with Don Imus, Jim Bohannon and Coast to Coast AM.

Washington Redskins owner Daniel Snyder's Red Zebra Broadcasting purchased WTNT, WTEM, and WWRC from Clear Channel in June 2008.

Red Zebra sold off the 730 kHz facility to Metro Radio, which picked up WTNT's call letters and previous conservative talk format.

The Salem Radio Network provides most of the station's weekday programming, with shows hosted by Hugh Hewitt (morning drive), Mike Gallagher (late mornings), Dennis Prager (middays), Jay Sekulow (evenings), Larry Elder (evenings), Eric Metaxas and Sebastian Gorka (late nights) and Dan Proft (overnights).

Weekend programming also includes syndicated shows hosted by John Catsimatidis, Rudy Maxa and Frank Gaffney.
