WASR (1420 kHz) is a commercial AM radio station broadcasting a Talk radio format, with an All-News morning show and Oldies music on weekends. WASR is licensed to Wolfeboro, New Hampshire, and serves the New Hampshire Lakes Region. The station is owned by Winnipesaukee Radio Station, LLC and uses programming from Westwood One and the Talk Radio Network with national news from CBS Radio News and Westwood One News. On March 23, 2015, the station added the Boston-based The Howie Carr Show. The station also carries Laura Ingraham, Clark Howard, Michael Savage and other nationally syndicated talk shows on weekdays. Overnight on weekdays, Fox Sports Radio is heard.
At one time, WASR was an adult standards station, carrying Citadel Media's Timeless service. The station switched to the current format on December 26, 2009, in advance of Citadel's closure of Timeless in early 2010.
WASR is also heard on a 250 watt FM translator, 100.7 W264DA. Some listeners may prefer hearing the station on FM, especially at night when the AM must reduce power from 5000 watts to 137 watts and is more difficult to hear outside of Wolfeboro.
