55KRC 🇺🇸

55KRC, broadcasting on 550 AM in Cincinnati, Ohio, is a news/talk radio station owned by iHeartMedia. Founded in 1922 as WLW by Powel Crosley Jr., the station was known for its experimental high-power broadcasting at 500,000 watts in the 1930s. Initially affiliated with major radio networks like NBC, the call sign changed to 55KRC in 1993. Today, branded as '55KRC, Cincinnati's Talk Station', it offers a conservative-leaning format with a mix of nationally syndicated shows, including Sean Hannity, Glenn Beck, Clay Travis & Buck Sexton, and Mark Levin, alongside local hosts providing Cincinnati-specific news and commentary. 55KRC provides news updates, traffic reports, and weather forecasts, especially during morning and afternoon drive times. While primarily a talk station, 55KRC may also carry some sports programming, either through syndicated shows or local sports talk. The station's AM signal reaches the Cincinnati metropolitan area and surrounding regions, and its programming is available online.
