For the Knoxville-Tennessee station originally licensed as WNAV in 1922, see WNML (AM).
WNAV (1430 AM) is a radio station located in Annapolis, Maryland. It first went on the air on April 22, 1949, from studios at 89 West Street in Annapolis. Its first president and general manager was Albert H. MacCarthy.[1] The full-service outlet still broadcasts at 1430 kilohertz, its original location on the AM dial.
Owner Pat Sajak, the host of Wheel of Fortune, reached a deal to sell the station to local investors in October 2021. [2][3] In December, the new management informed on-air staff that they would be let go at the end of the month.[4]
WNAV also uses an FM translator, W260BM, that broadcasts at 99.9 MHz.
While primarily a locally originated station, syndicated programming heard on WNAV includes First Light. The station also airs the hourly CBS News Radio and is the flagship station for the United States Naval Academy's: Men's and Women's Lacrosse and Basketball teams, as well as the school's Baseball team. The station is also a broadcast affiliate for both the Baltimore Orioles baseball and Baltimore Ravens football teams.
