WLAD (800 AM) is a commercial radio station licensed to Danbury, Connecticut, broadcasting a news/talk radio format.[2] WLAD is owned by Berkshire Broadcasting, with studios and offices located on Mill Plain Road in Danbury and is transmitter is located off Brushy Hill Road, also in Danbury.[3]

WLAD operates at 1,000 watts using a non-directional antenna; because 800 AM is a clear channel frequency reserved for Mexico, WLAD must reduce power at night to 286 watts. In early 2017, WLAD began simulcasting on an FM translator, W231DJ at 94.1 MHz.[4]
