iHeartMedia is flipping Sports “Fox Sports 1410” WPOP Hartford to News/Talk. iHeart has registered 1410WPOP.com, NewsRadio1410.com, NewsRadio1410WPOP.com, NewsRadioWPOP.com, and WPOP1410.com. The flip will eliminate one of two Sports stations in the iHeart Hartford cluster as the company also owns “ESPN 97.9” WUCS.
The station will become the third Talk station in the market joining Connoisseur’s “Talk of Connecticut” 610 WDRC and CBS’s 1080 WTIC. iHeart will likely duplicate the lineup of sister 960 WELI New Haven, which includes the syndicated Glenn Beck and Sean Hannity who do not have clearances in the Hartford market. The big question could be whether WPOP will bring Rush Limbaugh over from WTIC considering what has happened recently in other markets. WPOP has registered a 0.1 share in each of the last three months.
WPOP 1410 to talk
At 500 large for Rush perhaps the ought to consider Jerry Kuhner in the same slot as he will go national soon....
Jeff Kuhner
Oops My bad, Yes, Jeff Kuhner....
WDRC actually on 1360 in Hartford but also 610, 1240 etc in nearby areas
“Heres Joey Reynolds” I remeber that from the 60’s and we could go to the transmitter and see the DJ in the window live on air
The only problem with WPOP 1410 is that it's a very weak station. Not even sure we can get it clearly here in north-central CT (near the MA border). I'll check it out...
I hope the 50,000 watt WTIC 1080 doesn’t dump Rush and he goes to WPOP 1410, a much weaker station. However, we also get Rush clearly on WHYN 560, Springfield, MA.

hah, all they did was zoom in on the second map!
Hope WPOP brings in Mark Levin.
Can you please show me a map of the reach WTIC AM has, thanks.
That was day...by night:
