WDRC (1360 kHz) is a commercial AM radio station in Hartford, Connecticut. It is owned by Full Power Radio and airs a conservative talk radio format. The studios and transmitter site are located on Blue Hill Avenue (Connecticut Route 187) in Bloomfield, Connecticut, with other radio stations.
WDRC is the flagship station of "The Talk of Connecticut", which is simulcast in Torrington on WSNG (610 AM). 250-watt FM translator station W277DT, 103.3 MHz, also carries WDRC programming for listeners in Hartford and adjacent communities.
WDRC operates fulltime with 5,000 watts. The signal is non-directional by day, but because AM band signals travel farther at night, after sunset the station uses a directional antenna that sends most of its coverage eastward, in order to protect other stations on AM 1360.
