IN BLACK HISTORY

"PGH'S #1 for Hip Hop and R&B"

WAMO has been a part of Pittsburgh's history for 55 years. WAMO-AM began in Homestead in 1948 as WHOD. In 1956, the call letters were changed to W-A-M-O (to represent the Allegheny, Monongahela, and Ohio rivers). WAMO-FM went on the air in 1960.

In 1973, the Sheridan Broadcasting Corporation, owned by Ronald Davenport, purchased WAMO-AM/FM, WILD in Boston, and WUFO in Buffalo from Dynamic Broadcasting. In 1974, WAMO-FM and WAMO-AM began separate programming. Gospel programming aired on WAMO-AM, Monday through Friday, and Saturdays and Sundays were simulcast with WAMO-FM. WAMO-FM was formatted as an R&B station, with gospel programming on Sunday.....read more from the official website 106.7 WAMO

PROUD TO BE BLACK

This flag is credited to Marcus Garvey, a leading exponent of Afro-American rights. It represents wider African heritage, and is inspired by the heraldry of ancient African empires as well as the blood of Africans, the people themselves, and the lush verdure of the African continent.
