WDRC is the flagship station of "The Talk of Connecticut", which is simulcast in Torrington on WSNG (610 AM). 250-watt FM translator station W277DT, 103.3 MHz, also carries WDRC programming for listeners in Hartford and adjacent communities.
WDRC operates fulltime with 5,000 watts. The signal is non-directional by day, but because AM band signals travel farther at night, after sunset the station uses a directional antenna that sends most of its coverage eastward, in order to protect other stations on AM 1360.
