WHYN (560 kHz "NewsRadio 560") is a commercial AM talk radio station licensed to Springfield, Massachusetts. It serves the Pioneer Valley area of Western Massachusetts and is owned by iHeartMedia. Studios and offices are on Main Street in Springfield. The transmitter is on County Road in Southampton. WHYN operates at 5000 watts by day, using a directional antenna, but must reduce power to 1000 watts at night to avoid interfering with other stations on 560 kHz.
The station airs a conservative program schedule on weekdays with a local news and interview morning show followed by nationally syndicated talk shows, mostly from iHeartMedia subsidiary Premiere Networks: Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, America Now with Meghan McCain, Clyde Lewis and Coast to Coast AM with George Noory. Boston-based Howie Carr is heard weekday afternoons. Weekends feature shows on money, law, gardening and religion (some of which are paid brokered programming). Weekend syndicated hosts include Bill Handel, Gary Sullivan, Bill Cunningham, Joe Pags, Ric Edelman and Sean Hannity. (WHYN is a rare iHeartMedia talk station that doesn't run Sean Hannity on weekdays.)
