WBIS (1190 AM) was an American radio station broadcasting a News Talk Information format. Licensed to Annapolis, Maryland, United States, the station served the Baltimore, Maryland area. The station was last owned by Nations Radio, LLC (a subsidiary of Potomac Radio, LLC).

In early 2011, WBIS's call letters were briefly changed to WCRW. Two weeks later the station was deleted, in order clear the way for a Leesburg, Virginia station to expand its operations.
