WJZ (1300 AM) is a sports gambling radio station licensed to Baltimore, Maryland with transmitter operations in Windsor Mill. Established briefly as WEAR in 1922 before its 66-year run as WFBR, the station is owned by Audacy, Inc. and broadcasts the BetQL network full-time.
WJFK changed its callsign to WJZ, while WHFS changed its call letters to WJZ-FM, on November 3, 2008, with the FM flipping to local-oriented sports programming, and the AM retaining its full-time affiliation of ESPN Radio (with some limited local weekend programming). Additionally, the callsigns of all three of Baltimore's major-affiliate TV stations have now been used on the city's radio stations; the WMAR call letters were once used on what is now WWMX. WJZ also carries University of Maryland, College Park sporting events, whose rights were previously held by rival station WBAL. On December 10, 2012, ESPN Radio was dropped for a simulcast of sister station WJZ-FM. The station became a full-time affiliate of CBS Sports Radio on January 2, 2013.

Shortly after going on the air, on June 14, 1922, Warren G.
