Public license information |
WTRI (1520 kHz) was a commercial AM radio station licensed to Brunswick, Maryland, which served Frederick County, Maryland and Loudoun County, Virginia. WTRI was last owned by Hasmukh Shah and aired a South Asian format of Bollywood music and talk in Hindi and Punjabi.
WTRI's tower and studio were formerly located off of 13th Avenue in Brunswick. It went silent on September 22, 2023, after that land was sold to the city government to expand a neighboring park. As it did not resume operations in one year, its license was forfeited pursuant to the Telecommunications Act of 1996. Programming was also heard on an FM translator station, 101.7 W269DH in Leesburg, Virginia.
