WAVA is a religious talk radio formatted broadcast radio station licensed to Arlington, Virginia, serving the metro areas of Washington, D.C., and Baltimore, Maryland. WAVA is owned and operated by Salem Media Group. In its early history, the station sported pop, country and news/talk formats. As WARL, it was the first station to brand itself as playing "country western music".
WAVA is a daytime-only station because 780 AM is a clear-channel frequency, on which WBBM in Chicago is the dominant Class A station.
