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 built a "vintage studio" in the St. Albans City Hall. [1] [5] The station initially operated from a "broom closet" at the City Municipal Building. [1] In 2017, the studio was moved to the St. Albans Chamber of Commerce at 412 6th Avenue.
