History
The station began operating in 1978 as WVSU-FM. It was staffed by students in the Samford University journalism and mass communication program, under the direction of a hired general manager.[1] In 2007, WVSU became the flagship station of a newly formed Samford University sports radio network.[2]
The Alabama Jazz Hall of Fame began operating the station on February 1, 2018, under a "Program Servicing Agreement" with Samford University.[1] Effective May 3, 2018, Samford University sold WVSU-FM to the Alabama Jazz Hall of Fame, Inc. for $50,000. The new licensee changed the station's call sign to WAJH the same day.
