Contents

WISE-FM is one of three stations whose call signs spell out their city of license; the others are WACO-FM and WARE.

Programming

WISE-FM and its translators were previously full-time repeaters of Virginia Tech's Radio IQ news and public affairs network, based at WVTF in Roanoke. Effective November 12, 2022, the Virginia Tech Foundation and Emory and Henry College entered into a deal whereby WISE-FM became a repeater of the college's WEHC, based in Emory. WEHC also carries Radio IQ for part of the day, but breaks from the network in afternoons and evenings (1–4 p.m. and 6 p.m. to midnight) to air its own locally-focused talk, music, and sports programming.

Translators

In addition to the main station, WISE-FM is relayed by FM translators to widen its broadcast area. [8] [9] [10] [11] [12]
