    WTRC-FM (95.3 MHz; "News Talk 95.3 MNC") is a commercial radio station, licensed to Niles, Michigan and featuring a news/talk format. The station's owner is Federated Media. Its programming and on-air presentation are closely patterned after Federated's news/talk station in Fort Wayne, WOWO. The station broadcasts syndicated programming, including Dan Bongino, Brian Kilmeade, and Sean Hannity.[2] WTRC-FM is a Fox News Radio affiliate.[3]

    WTRC-FM is licensed by the FCC to broadcast in the HD Radio digital hybrid format.[4]

    History

    [edit]

    The station first began broadcasting as WNIL-FM.[5] Before adopting the current format, it had a classic rock format as WAOR. (Following the change in formats the WAOR call letters, along with the classic rock format, moved to 95.7 FM, now WRDI.)[6]

    After changing its call letters to WTRC-FM, the station switched to a news/talk format that was simulcast over WTRC (1340 AM)inElkhart, Indiana. On May 5, 2014, WTRC and WTRC-FM began broadcasting separate morning shows, although the two stations continued to jointly broadcast most other programming.[2] On February 21, 2017, WTRC changed its format to adult standards, ending its WTRC-FM simulcasts.[7] In April 2023, WTRC dropped a soft oldies format for a news/talk format again partially simulcast with WTRC-FM; the two stations share local drive time programming but have largely separate syndicated programming.[8]
