radio station located in Frederick,Maryland , in theUnited States . It playscountry music and is owned byClear Channel Communications along with its sister station 930 WFMD. Despite the fact that the station is located approximately 45 miles (72kilometers ) away from the two closest major cities (Baltimore, Maryland andWashington, DC ), its strong signal (7,600watt s) reaches both major markets.The WFRE calls can mean either "Free Country" which is WFRE's branding or "Free State" which is one of the state's nicknames because Maryland never passed a prohibition enforcement act in the 1920s.
