History

The station first signed-on the AM dial in 1924 as WBRE, owned by Louis G. Baltimore and the Baltimore Radio Exchange company in Wilkes-Barre. WBRE initially broadcast at a frequency of 1300 kHz until 1927 when it switched to broadcasting on the frequency of 1200 kHz on a time shared basis with the other long time station in Wilkes-Barre, WBAX. This arrangement lasted until 1930 when WBRE changed frequency to 1310 kHz. WBRE remained at 1310 kHz until the North American Radio Broadcasting Agreement took effect in 1941 and the station finally landed on its present day broadcast frequency of 1340 kHz. As WBRE, it was an NBC radio affiliate.
