WMRE (1550 AM) is a sports radio formatted broadcast radio station licensed to Charles Town, West Virginia, serving Charles Town and Jefferson County, West Virginia. WMRE is owned and operated by iHeartMedia.[2]
While the station is licensed to Charles Town, West Virginia, where the station's tower is also located, the station is run from the iHeartMedia studios in Winchester, Virginia. But because 1550 AM is a Canadian clear channel frequency reserved for Class A station CBEF in Windsor, Ontario, WMRE must reduce power at night to 6 watts.
