WYRE (810 AM) is a commercial radio station broadcasting an adult album alternative (AAA) format. Licensed to Annapolis, Maryland, it serves Anne Arundel County, Prince George's County, Montgomery County, and Washington, D.C. It is owned by Cortona Media with studios on Silopanna Road in Annapolis. WYRE is a relaunch of long-time Annapolis AAA station WRNR-FM (now WRHS), calling itself "WRNR 93.5 FM."

WYRE is a daytimer station, powered at 250 watts and required to go off the air at night to avoid interfering with Class A station WGY Schenectady. Programming is heard around the clock on two FM translators at 93.5 MHz: W228ER, licensed to Annapolis, and W228DI, licensed to Silver Spring, Maryland.
