Call sign meaning
loosely taken from the former WRC (980 AM), now WTEM
WWRC (570 AM) – branded AM 570 The Answer – is a commercial conservative talk radio station licensed to serve Bethesda, Maryland. Owned by the Salem Media Group, the station services the Washington metro area and is the market affiliate for the Salem Radio Network and The Sean Hannity Show. The WWRC studios are located in Arlington, while the station transmitter resides in nearby Germantown. In addition to a standard analog transmission, WWRC is available online.
Despite the similar looking call sign, WWRC is a name-only descendant of the former WRC (980 AM)—now WTEM—and is not related to the current WRC-TV.
