    WNAV (1430 AM) is a radio station located in Annapolis, Maryland. It first went on the air on April 22, 1949, from studios at 89 West Street in Annapolis. Its first president and general manager was Albert H. MacCarthy.[2] The full-service outlet still broadcasts at 1430 kilohertz, its original location on the AM dial.

    Owner Pat Sajak, the host of Wheel of Fortune, reached a deal to sell the station to local investors in October 2021. [3][4] In December, the new management informed on-air staff that they would be let go at the end of the month.[5]

    WNAV also uses an FM translator, W260BM, that broadcasts at 99.9 MHz.

    While primarily a locally originated station, syndicated programming heard on WNAV includes First Light. The station also airs the hourly CBS News Radio and is the flagship station for the United States Naval Academy's: Men's and Women's Lacrosse and Basketball teams, as well as the school's Baseball team. The station is also a broadcast affiliate for both the Baltimore Orioles baseball and Baltimore Ravens football teams.

    WNAV's weekly public affairs shows are the "1430 Connection," "Talk With" and the "Volunteer Voice." "The Boat Show" is a sponsored program that also airs weekly.

    Awards received by WNAV and its staff members include:

    WNAV celebrated its 70 anniversary in July 2019.

    In addition to the main station, WNAV is relayed by one FM translator to alleviate difficulty with AM reception in cities.
