History

WAIR first signed on the air on March 25, 1937[3] on 1250 kHz with 250 watts during the day The tower was on North Cherry Street. Later the signal was increased to 1,000 watts during the day.[4]

In the 1970s, WAIR aired an Urban contemporary format. In March 1985, WAIR was a simulcast of Top 40 WSEZ on 93.1 FM (now WPAW) one-third of the time, though a billboard on Interstate 40 suggested WSEZ was broadcasting both on 1340 and 93.1.[5] Later it was three-fourths urban and one-fourth a simulcast of album rock on WSEZ.[6]


The WKEW simulcast began at the end of 2000.[7]

Translators

In addition to the main station, WPOL is relayed by an FM translator to widen its broadcast area in the triad.[8]
