WZHF is a Russian News formatted broadcast radio station licensed to Capitol Heights, Maryland, serving Metro Washington, D.C. WZHF is owned and operated by Way Broadcasting.
The station was originally licensed to Arlington, Virginia. In April 2014, station owner Way Broadcasting applied to change the community of license to Capitol Heights, Maryland. The reason behind the change was the station's tower location in Falls Church, Virginia, was not renewed after more than two decades. In June 2014, WZHF began broadcasting from a tower used by WJFK and WUST in Walker Mill, Maryland.
