History
WARE first signed on the air in 1948, originally as WRMS.[2] It was owned by Donald W. Howe and was a daytimer. It transmitted with 1,000 watts and had to go off the air at sunset to avoid interfering with other stations on AM 1250. A year later, in 1949, it switched its call letters to WARE.
Unusual call letters
WARE is one of three stations in the United States where the call sign spells out the name of the city of license. The other stations are WACO-FM in Waco, Texas, and WISE-FM in Wise, Virginia (a satellite of WVTF).
