It is licensed to Amherst, Massachusetts, United States, and the station is owned by Amherst College.^[3] Programming has included independent artists, news, college sports, and live local music.

The station is federally licensed (authorized by the FCC) and non-commercial, and is under the supervision of the Amherst College Board of Trustees.

WAMH broadcasts from an antenna adjacent to the WFCR tower on Mount LincolninPelham, Massachusetts. Nielsen Broadcast Data Systems ratings as of January 2018 found that over 3,500 listeners tune in to WAMH during the 10 hours of student programming each day.
