WBAL is a news/talk radio station located in Baltimore, Maryland. It broadcasts on 1090 kHz and is a clear channel station on the AM band with 50 kW of power. It has the largest signal strength of any radio station in Maryland, and employs the largest number of news staff for any radio station in the state. The station is owned by the Hearst Corporation, and is managed by Hearst-Argyle Television. WBAL and sister station WIYY (FM) are the only two radio stations still owned by The Hearst Corporation.
