WHAS Radio is an AM radio station broadcasting in Louisville, Kentucky. It is a 50 kW clear channel radio station assigned to frequency 840 kHz. (It was originally assigned the frequency of 350 kHz.) With clear channel status, its nighttime signal can be heard in most of the continental U.S., and even in other countries at times.
WHAS operates as "84 WHAS." In 2006 the station started broadcasting in the new High Definition radio format.
The station was originally part of the local media empire ruled by the family Barry Bingham, Sr. It is the flagship radio station of the annual WHAS Crusade for Children telethon.
WHAS was the first station to broadcast the call of the Kentucky Derby live, using an announcer who watched from the windows of one of the famous twin spires of Churchill Downs.
WHAS is currently owned by Clear Channel Communications.
