almost two-thirds of Maryland. For much of the time from the late 1990s to 2008, it operated at only 10,000 watts. While this provided a decent signal to Baltimore itself and most of its close-in suburbs, many of Baltimore's outer suburbs, including Annapolis, only got a grade B signal. In 2008, it increased its power to 15,500 watts, giving it a coverage area roughly comparable to the other major Baltimore stations. Two years earlier, University of Maryland student station WMUC in College Park, which at the time also broadcast at , raised concerns about co-channel interference due to its class D license that does not protect it from interference, in contrast to WYPR's class A license. In May 2021, WYPR announced plans to acquire Towson-based WTMD, an adult album alternative station owned by Towson University. The $3 million deal is contingent on Federal Communications Commission approval. WTMD will retain its format and programming. The sale was closed on November 10, 2021, officially making WTMD a sister station to WYPR.
