WSAE (106.9 FM) is a non-commercial radio station located in Spring Arbor, Michigan. The station is owned by Spring Arbor University.
WSAE began broadcasting in 1963 as a 10 watt college station on 89.3 MHz. Power was increased to 1,000 watts in February, 1971 and 3,100 watts in April, 1977. The station moved to 106.9 MHz in October 1991 with 2,900 watts. In December 1993 WSAE made a final increase to 3,900 watts.
On May 18, 2005 the station switched from a contemporary Christian format to HOME.fm. HOME.fm plays a mixture of mainstream adult contemporary and contemporary Christian music. The former format, known as Power Praise FM (now known as The Vibe), was moved to sister station WJKN. From Thanksgiving Day through December 31 WSAE broadcasts Christmas music around the clock.
The station is broadcast throughout central lower Michigan over a network of translators.
