History

WALW-LP (sp?) was assigned its call letters by the Federal Communications Commission on January 29, 2014.^[4] The station, which began broadcasting in July 2014, was launched by Eric Kaelin, a former general manager of Grand Haven classic hits station WGHN-AM.^[3]

In forming the Tri-Cities Broadcasting Foundation, Kaelin brought together officials from Grand Haven High School, Muskegon Community College, and Grand Valley State University. The foundation's mission is to teach broadcasting skills to students, including marketing and financial aspects of the radio industry.^[2][3]
