WSRY (1550 AM) is a radio station broadcasting a Regional Mexican music format. Licensed to Elkton, Maryland, USA. The station is currently owned by Priority Radio, Inc.[1] and since Jan. 1st 2015 is leased to Mr. Roberto Ekonomo.

History

The station went on the air as WXHL on 2002-02-15. On 2005-03-03, the station changed its call sign to the current WSRY. The station's first-ever set of call letters were WSER-AM. Those call letters had been on the station since it first signed on in the early 1960s, until a Delaware-based religious group (Faith City Church) purchased the station from Brian Barrabee's First Philadelphia Properties in late 1999, and became a Moody Broadcasting affiliate in February 2000, then later began simulcasting WXHL-FM's Contemporary Christian music programming. The station became an ESPN/all sports station in 2005 until it switched back to simulcasting WXHL-FM in 2009.[2]
