History
The
WESR AM-1330 KHz frequency first came to life on the Eastern
Shore of Virginia on January 30, 1958. Programming on FM
103.3 MHz first went on-air on July 17, 1968. From local
news to Swap Shop to the latest weather, we keep the public
informed of all current events. Mixing information with
today's best music has made us an integral part of Eastern
Shore life......we hope to continue this tradition now and
into the 21st century!
