Our mission is to preserve and celebrate the legacy of WAMO from its inception in 1948 to its conclusion under Sheridan Broadcasting in 2009. In creating our highly anticipated documentary project, WAMO: The Sound of the Steel City, we were inundated with love and support from the Pittsburgh community, who remain loyal fans and staunch supporters.
