History

WALF-FM started in November 1971 in the basement of 6 Sayles Street, and has since moved twice, to Steinheim in the mid-1970s, and then to its present location in the Powell Campus Center where it opened in 1993.

WALF, which is run by students, airs a freeform genre, allowing program hosts to play what they want within Federal Communications Commission regulations). The students produce most of the station's shows from 9 a.m.–2 a.m. In addition to the student staff, some programs are hosted by faculty members and community volunteers.
