How It All Began
Before 1976 the Station was an AM carrier-current station the call letters where WCSU. We expected to retain the WCSU call letters but needed to submit 5 choices to the FCC in our application. WCSU was first, second WMLF (Station Manager Michael Flaster’s initials), third WCJL (for Corey Leibow, the Program Director’s initials), fourth, WRTC (the Chief Engineer, Dick Crozier’s initials) and finally, as a joke, WSUC. As luck would have it, the first four call-letters were already assigned. Good thing the FCC had a sense of humor.
WSUC officially went on the air on November 29th, 1976. Originally the station was given 90.7 FM. It wasn’t until later that the station would migrate to it’s current address at 90.5 FM.
