About:
WAPS (91.3 FM, “The Summit”) is an American non-commercial radio station serving in and licensed to Akron, Ohio. WAPS first signed on in September 1955, part of a state-wide educational broadcasting initiative that saw the launch of many school system-licensed radio stations across Ohio. From 1955 through the early 1980s, WAPS served as a “radio classroom” service, operating only during school days and offering instructional radio programs that teachers could use in their classrooms. The station is owned and operated by the Akron Public Schools system and airs an Adult album alternative (AAA) format Monday through Saturday, including NPR’s World Cafe on weekday mornings. On Sundays, specialty programs air, including a block of nationality programming in foreign languages. In February of 2009, WAPS began airing Found Sound, a new music hour that is currently on every Saturday at 9 pm. The station broadcasts worldwide via streaming audio from the station website at www.
