About WAWL Radio
The WAWL, established on-campus in September 1980, broadcasted with 200 watts of power to the Chattanooga region but now streams 24/7 on the internet. The format began as contemporary/Top 40 that aired 8 hours a day for 5 days each week, but the WAWL has since evolved into an alternative radio station. Over the years college staff and professors have helped steer the station. Throughout the years WAWL has served largely, and primarily, as an incubator for fresh radio talent coming through the doors of Chattanooga State.
The WAWL, located in the Media Technology Center on Chattanooga State’s Amnicola Highway campus, reaches a world-wide audience by streaming over the World Wide Web. As the Chattanooga, Tennessee area’s only alternative streaming station, The WAWL is known for its innovative programming and an open venue for introducing new songs and local artists.
