    WAYS (1500 AM) was a radio station serving the Macon, Georgia area with a sports radio format. This station was under ownership of Cumulus Media.

    History[edit]

    Until September 4, 2009, it was an affiliate of ABC Radio's True Oldies Channel when it was Oldies Radio 1500, with the slogan "Macon's True Oldies Channel".[1]

    Because it shared the same frequencyasclear-channel station WFEDinWashington, D.C., it could broadcast only during daytime hours. However, their online webcast is available 24 hours a day.

    On February 25, 2020, WAYS (which had adopted the WRWM call letters on February 20; WAYS was transferred to 1050 AM in Conway, South Carolina) went off the air and surrendered its license to the FCC.[2] The FCC cancelled the station's license on February 27, 2020.
