Additionally, Salem will begin operating the station under a local marketing agreement on May 15, 2010. WWRC-AM will be programmed in Salem's News Talk format and features nationally known talk shows combined with live and local news, weather and traffic.

In addition to its radio broadcast business, Salem owns a non-broadcast media division.

David Santrella, division president for radio at Salem, said: “There is no better place to have a platform for our brand of talk radio than in our nation's capital and this acquisition provides us with just such an opportunity.”

Do you think this acquisition will help the radio broadcaster?
