WREN

WREN is a Topeka, Kansas broadcaster with talk and news programming, streaming through its official website as WREN Digital Media. Its history traces back to ownership by Bowersock Mills, whose Jenny Wren Flour was the station’s first commercial advertiser. WREN relocated to Tonganoxie in 1932, later returned to Lawrence in the 1940s, and moved to Topeka in 1952. Former Kansas Governor Alf Landon purchased the station, followed by Phil Kassebaum and then a Kansas City group. After going off the air in 1988, WREN was revived by Frank Chaffin and Les Glenn as a streaming internet station in January 2012.
