WZBR (1410 AM) is a radio station broadcasting Portuguese language programming. Licensed to Dedham, Massachusetts, USA, the station serves the South Shore area (though it markets itself to the Greater Boston area as a whole). The station is owned by Langer Broadcasting Group, LLC, which also owns WSRO in the area.[1][2]
History
The station signed on July 17, 1961 as WOKW. The call letters changed to WAMK on September 28, 1981, to WATD on December 15, 1985, and to WMSX on April 1, 1990.[3]
On June 10, 2013, the then-WMSX filed an application to move from Brockton to Dedham, with a transmitter in the Hyde Park neighborhood of Boston.[4]
On November 12, 2013, the station changed its call sign to the current WZBR. Langer signed the station on from its new site on the Hyde Park-Dedham border on February 11, 2014. WZBR has its own studios in Hyde Park.[5]
The station changed from its previous jazz music format to Portuguese language programming in December, 2014.[6]
