History

WRSW-FM is noted as the "heritage station of Kosciusko County" and is one of the oldest FM stations in the area. It celebrated 70 years of broadcasting in Warsaw, IN on August 11, 2018. The station also held a month-long celebration honoring 75 years in 2023. [4] During the 1960s, WRSW-AM/FM studios were used to host the annual All-County Spelling Championship. [5]

For several years, the station was owned by Talking Stick Communications, a subsidiary of Federated Media. In 2002, Federated Media purchased WRSW-AM and WRSW-FM (then at 107.1) along with a second FM station in Warsaw, which is now WAWC-FM (103.5)

The radio station (along with sister stations WAWC and WRSW) was purchased by Kensington Digital Media on May 15, 2018. The purchase, at a price of $2.4 million, was consummated on September 5, 2018. [6]
