[edit] History

For many years, WISE was a Top 40 radio station. In the 1980s, the station switched to adult standards, with most of the music coming from Stardust, an ABC Radio satellite format.

WISE gradually began adding talk shows in the early-2000s, eventually switching to talk radio full time, and finally sports talk.[2]
