WUST
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
WUST is a radio station broadcasting on 1120 kHz in the medium-wave AM band from Fairfax, Virginia. It broadcasts brokered foreign language programming, including an English language news program from China Radio International Mondays through Fridays at 9:00 a.m. and French language programming from Radio France International from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. Mondays through Saturdays.
WUST used to be a rhythm and blues station in Washington, D.C., whose callsign came from its studio location at 1120 U Street, N.W.
During the 1950s, DJs Lord Fauntleroy Bandy and "Terrible" Thomas popularized R&B with high school students, weaning them from Top 40. Part of the appeal of WUST was its location in the red light district of the time.
