Radio Insight ^ | 5-1-19 | Lance Venta

John Fuller’s Full Power Radio has launched translator 103.3 W277DT Hartford CT as the FM side of “The Talk of Connecticut” 1360 WDRC Hartford.

With the launch, WDRC and simulcasters 610 WSNG Torrington and 1470 WMMW Meriden have shifted to what is being positioned as “Ultra Conservative Talk” branded as “Trump 103.3“. The station’s lineup now features local morning show “Brad Davis & Friends” from 6-9am, Mike Gallagher from 9am-12pm, local host Lee Elci from 12-1pm which also includes Bill O’Reilly’s new syndicated commentary from 1230-1245. The syndicated Dana Loesch, Michael Savage, Ben Shapiro, and Wayne Allen Root round out the daily lineup.

Full Power Radio announced today the launch of ultra conservative talk radio station “TRUMP 103.3 WDRC”. The station’s promos call for the firing of Governor Ned Lamont and demand “No New Tolls or Taxes for Connecticut”.

“There is a real hunger for the truth and “Trump 103.3” will report and uncover statewide waste and corruption that conventional media are afraid to touch, according to John Fuller owner of Full Power Radio. Listeners can expect investigative reporting and live and local talk shows. Trump 103.3 is the “Brave New Voice of Freedom”.

“Trump 103.3” is the FM simulcast of WDRC 1360 AM- Hartford, WMMW 1470 AM- Meriden and WSNG 610 AM Torrington. The station lineup includes Brad Davis and Friends in the Morning, Mike Gallagher from 9 to Noon, Lee Elci is live and local at noon with special guest Bill O’Reilly”. Dana Losch, Michael Savage and Ben Shapiro round out the afternoon. Wayne Allen Root will be heard in the evening. The station is a Fox News Affiliate and does local news on the hour with a state wide news team.

“Radio that makes you think” is another slogan that defines the station, according to Fuller, who says the innovation of Trump 103.3 FM, is to help unite conservatives in Connecticut for change and make it a red state.

WDRC- AM The Talk of Connecticut is celebrating 100 years of service to Hartford and we are delighted that the FCC granted us an FM simulcast station because of the outstanding community service the station has given to the community.

Tried in DC in 08 I believe– McCain 570 and Obama 1260 or something. DC also tried a blend of viewpoints on 1500 with a format described as “Left, Right, and Whatever We Want”. Didn’t last.

People will listen to what makes sense.

The Democrats think a Limbaugh would be easy to duplicate on the Left. Never happen...

Most folks know what’s right even if they won’t admit it. The Lefties are just lost in space.

That’s why Limbaugh has been so successful. He makes sense.

WDRC in Hartford...Serving the capital Region of the Nutmeg State!! With the greal Al Anderson dj of the 60’s. Every teen in Ct listened to him. I had a chance to meet him in the late seventies in Miami. By then he had moved to WA1A on Miami Beach.

Back in the 90's they were touting Jim Hightower as "The Liberal Rush Limbaugh". He did a show from some diner in Texas. It was gawd-awful.

Scraped the bottom of the barrel with that Never Trumper nerd, Ben Shapiro. Does he know he'll be on a station called 'Trump 103.3'?

There was a well-known Liberal Congressman who tried it, and I can’t think of his name right now.

Rush lampoons him during the breaks with a short presentation that is hilarious.

Dana Loesch was a NeverTrumper during the election. I don’t know about now.

"Big D 103" Hartford used to be oldies (50s, 60s, 70s) - then it changed to contemporary R&R like the other dozen stations around.
We needed another Led Zep 24-7 station like we needed another hole in our heads.

that’s WDRC FM 102.9

WDRC 1360 AM is simulcasting on an FM translator since AM is struggling.
Some AM stations are turning to music because they get an FM translator and have to run same thing.In Barre VT WSNO AM 1450 was running Rush Limbaugh, Howie Carr etc but changed to top 40 when they got an FM translator. Now it’s Vermont’s Beat 105.7...wonder how many teens are even aware of the AM side.

That works for me, the more conservative outlets the better. Time to take back the narrative.

The Trump curse could turn CT from blue to red. The voters are hopping mad with the Democratics and their plans to toll the highways.
