WDRC (1360 AM) is a radio station owned by Buckley Broadcasting Corporation. It operates full time with 5,000 Watts of power with studios and transmitters located in Bloomfield, Connecticut.
WDRC is the flagship station of Buckley Broadcasting's four Connecticut stations running a talk format with the slogan "The Talk of Connecticut" (the other stations are WSNG, Torrington, WWCO Waterbury and WMMW in Meriden). The leading personalities for the "Talk of Connecticut" are morning host Brad Davis and afternoon host Dan Lovallo. Both offer a conservative viewpoint. Davis has been linked to former Governor John Rowland and Senator Joe Lieberman. Lovallo's conservative show contrasts with the afternoon host on WTIC AM, liberal Colin McEnroe.
The Talk of Connecticut stations also broadcast sporting events as Yankees major league baseball, New Britain Rock Cats minor league baseball, University of Hartford Hawks Basketball and high school sports.
WDRC was the first commercial AM station in the state of Connecticut, originally operating from New Haven, CT.[1] Its sister station, WDRC-FM, was the first commercial FM station in the entire United States, and is broadcast at 102.9 MHz.
