What does "of record" here mean?

Not that it's much better, but I'd definitely consider WYPR to be the of record station, if one exists.

Just means they are usually the biggest News/Talk station in the market, generally respected, they carry public announcements, national broadcasts, etc. In Baltimore they have the biggest listenership in their format. Kind of like being the Washington Post of local radio.

Not really. The Washington Post dominates the market for newspapers in there area. WBAL may be number one by a nose, but it doesn't have anywhere near the market share. That's why I was a little taken aback by the term.

By market share they trade back and forth with WYPR. And neither of them have near what the adult hits stations have.
