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. ==History== WCRN signed on December 5, 1994,〔 carrying religious programming from the Carter Radio Network, based out of then-sister station WROL in Boston. In December 2000, this was abandoned in favor of a big band format, "Swing 830". The format was changed to oldies, via ABC Radio's The True Oldies Channel, in August 2004, and then to the current talk format on May 8, 2006. In 2000, the station was allowed to increase its daytime power from 5,000 watts to the current 50,000 watts.〔 Nighttime power was also increased from 5,000 watts to 50,000 watts on April 4, 2007, just in time for the first Boston Red Sox night game of the season. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「WCRN」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
