WSHE (820 kHz HD Radio) is a commercial AM radio station, which transmits a digital-only signal on a standard AM band frequency. It is licensed to serve Frederick, Maryland, and owned by Hubbard Broadcasting through licensee Washington DC FCC License Sub, LLC. It simulcasts the freeform programming branded as The Gamut originating on the HD3 subchannel of sister station WTOP-FM. The Gamut programming is also available on the HD3 subchannels of sister stations WTLP and WWWT-FM, and in analog FM on translator W252DC (98.3 FM, Reston, Virginia).

WSHE also carries Washington Capitals, Washington Nationals, and Navy Midshipmen sports programming originating on sister station WFED.[2] Sunday syndicated programming on The Gamut includes Music and the Spoken Word (with WFED),[3] Anything Anything with Rich Russo and Little Steven's Underground Garage.

As WWFD, it was the first licensed radio station in the United States to discontinue its traditional AM analog signal and operate solely in digital-only HD Radio MA3 mode, which it began under experimental authorization from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in 2018.[4] WWFD's experiments with digital-only operation led to the FCC authorizing it on a voluntary basis for AM band stations nationwide in 2020.
