WASR (1420 kHz) is a commercial AM radio station broadcasting a classic hits format, along with some talk programming. WASR is licensed to Wolfeboro, New Hampshire, and serves the New Hampshire Lakes Region. The station is owned by Winnipesaukee Radio Station, LLC and runs local programming with national news and weather.[2] In February 2020 new station manager Eric Scott changed the format to variety hits with some local talk including a live call in show at noon, a local sports show on Friday afternoons, and a live Catholic Mass Sunday mornings. WASR also carries the WTPL-produced talk show Good Morning New Hampshire, hosted by Jack Heath.
At one time, WASR was an adult standards station, carrying Citadel Media's Timeless service. It also tried conservative talk with little success. The station switched to the current format on February 24, 2020.
WASR is also heard on a 250-watt FM translator, 97.1 W246DI.
