What is "wcrn"

WCRN is an AM radio station in Worcester, Massachusetts, owned by Carter Broadcasting.

The station broadcasts at 830 AM at a transmitter power output of 50,000 watts and can be heard from Maine to Providence, Rhode Island, and from Boston to Springfield, Massachusetts (during the day). The signal is directional, pointed away from such other stations at 830 kHz as WCCO in Minneapolis, Minnesota. After sunset, WCRN's signal is made further directional towards the east; as a result, it is not clearly audible in Western Massachusetts after sunset (Minneapolis/St. Paul timezone).

The station bills itself as "True Talk 830," with a talk radio format all day, except for financial shows from 9-11 a.m. and noon to 1 p.m. weekdays and infomercials at assorted times on Saturdays and Sundays.

The station is owned by the Carberry family, who also own WACE in Chicopee, Massachusetts. Kurt Carberry is the vice president and general manager; the program director is Hank Stolz.

On February 4, 2013 it was announced former WTKK talk host Michael Graham will do noon to 3pm weekdays, also broadcast on WESO Southbridge, WPLM Plymouth, and WBNW Concord, effective on February 11, 2013.
