History


WRAW is one of the oldest radio stations in Central Pennsylvania, going on the air in September 1922.[3] At first, it was powered at only 100 watts. WRAW originally was an NBC Red Network affiliate, airing its dramas, comedies, news, sports, soap operas, game shows and big bands broadcasts during the Golden Age of Radio.[4] In the 1950s, it switched to the CBS Radio Network and aired a middle of the road music format.


In the 1980s, it played a syndicated adult standards format, known as The Music of Your Life.


WRAW changed formats in 2006 to Religious talk and music as Praise Radio 1340 with the call sign WKAP. In 2007 it changed its call letters and format back to WRAW. In 2008, the station derived a portion of its programming from Scott Shannon's The True Oldies Channel from ABC Radio.[5]


On February 27, 2014, WRAW changed to Spanish CHR, branded as "Rumba 1340".[6]
