Rhythm and blues
On January 1, 1961, the station signed on as WAZZ and later as WAMO-FM. At first, it was powered at only 4,500 watts but later it had the most powerful FM signal coverage in [[Western Pennsylvania]], broadcasting at 72,000 watts. At first, it [[simulcast]]ed the same programming as its AM [[sister station]], WAMO (now [[WAOB (AM)|WAOB]]). WAMO-AM-FM served the Pittsburgh [[African-American]] community with [[Rhythm and blues|R&amp;B]] and [[soul music]], as well as [[talk radio|Black talk]] and [[news]] programming on weekdays, and religious shows on Sundays.
