[edit] WNAA’s History & Mission

The station was established in 1979 as a direct outgrowth of A&T’s first radio station, WANT-AM, which was built by students in A&T’s Industrial Technology Department. WNAA operated from 1979 to 1985 as a local Greensboro station, serving the campus and small areas of the city with 10 watts of power. In 1985, the station was granted permission to upgrade to a full power noncommercial FM stereo station.

WNAA now operates with 10,000 watts at 90.1 MHz on the FM dial, and has a licensed coverage area of 35 to 45 miles (56-64km). The station experiences an actual coverage area of 35 to 55 miles (56-88km) in most directions. WNAA is licensed to serve the Greensboro, High Point, Winston-Salem metropolitan radio market. This area, coupled with the secondary coverage area allows WNAA to cover a 14 county area in Northern Piedmont North Carolina and Southwestern Virginia.
