96.1 WSRS

WSRS was born on June 17, 1940 as W1XTG, an experimental FM Station on 43.3 MHz. The strange call sign, W1XTG, resulted from the station being in New England (W1), being experimental (X), and being owned by the Worcester Telegram & Gazette (TG). The strange frequency, 43.3 MHz, came from the FCC’s original allocation of 42 – 50 MHz for experimental FM work. There were about 30 other licensed FM stations in the United States.
