WSPD is a radio station in Toledo, Ohio, which broadcasts at 1370 AM. The station currently goes by the slogan "News/Talk 1370", coincident with its adoption of a conservative news/talk radio format starting in late 2005. Originally "Speedy 1370," starting in 1983 it was known as "AM Stereo 1370, WSPD," beginning with Kahn AM stereo, later switching to the FCC-approved Motorola C-QUAM AM stereo system. The AM stereo signal was switched off after Clear Channel acquired the station from Storer Broadcasting, at which time it became known as "News Radio 1370 WSPD."
The WSPD call letters were once shared with TV channel 13, when both were commonly owned. The TV station's call letters changed to WTVG when it was acquired by ABC. In addition to a local news staff, WSPD is affiliated with Fox News Radio, which provides live top-of-the-hour newscasts, actualities, and breaking national news coverage. WSPD has been the flagship station of University of Toledo football and basketball since the mid-1960s. The station also carries the NASCAR Nextel Cup racing series and a hugely popular high school football show on Friday nights in the fall.
WSPD's studios and offices are located at Superior and Lafayette in downtown Toledo. The station's transmitter is located on Oregon Road near Wales Road in Northwood, OH, and still contains a small DJ booth, reportedly the original broadcast studio.
