WBIS was an American radio station broadcasting a News Talk Information format. Licensed to Annapolis, Maryland, USA, the station served the Baltimore, Maryland area. The station was last owned by Nations Radio, LLC. On October 29, 2008, Leesburg, Virginia-based WCRW/1200 received a permit to move to 1190 kHz as well as to raise its power to 50 kW. On April 21, 2010, the FCC approved applications for WAGE to increase its daytime power to 50 kW and nighttime power to 1300 watts from different antenna sites on the new frequency.
