Programming and Studios

Along with the station's Oldies format, WWSA-LP also broadcasts features regarding the history of St. Albans.[1] Interviews with "individuals who have historical backgrounds related to the city" are also heard on the station.[1]

The Museum of Radio and Technology, located in nearby Huntington, West Virginia, donated equipment to the station and is building a "vintage studio" in the St. Albans City Hall.[1][4] The station currently operates from a "broom closet" at the City Municipal Building.[1]

gollark: Or forcing people to memorize useless information they will never need so that they can remember it for long enough to write down the right bits in an exam so that someone can say that they Know™ this subject... oh wait.
gollark: Also, universities are horribly expensive in the UK, even though meanwhile on the other side of the Scottish border they manage to provide free tuition, which is, er, bad.
gollark: So could most things.
gollark: As someone in the school system, I don't like it.
