WTAR

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

WTAR or AM 850 WTAR is a sports/talk radio station broadcasting in Norfolk, Virginia serving the Hampton Roads radio market. The station is owned by Sinclair Communications (no relation to Sinclair Broadcast Group, which happens to own television station WTVZ-TV in the same market).

The 850 frequency was originally WCAV when it signed on in 1952. But during the 1960s and 1970s they were better known as R&B outlet WRAP. They would later be replaced by WNIS, which moved from 1350 in the 1980s. They in turn would later swap signals with the original WTAR in the late 1990s.

The call letters WTAR refers to activities at the Norfolk Naval Shipyard...We Tow And Repair. When WTKR-TV was WTAR-TV/WTAR-AM, they referred the calls as Television And Radio

It mainly airs syndicated talkshows Dr. Laura, Bill O'Reilly, Glenn Beck, and Clark Howard.
