WMAS, 1450 AM, is a 1000 watt radio station licensed to Springfield, Massachusetts. Primarily, the station is formatted as an oldies station, playing Scott Shannon's True Oldies Channel. Talk programming, primarily of a food and gardening nature, is provided on Saturdays. The station is owned by Citadel Broadcasting, and is the sister to WMAS-FM 94.7, also broadcasting from Springfield.
WMAS-AM was one of the original Music Of Your Life radio stations, as its previous owner for many years, Bob Lappin (Lappin Communications, Inc.) was friends with the format's originator/syndicator Al Ham. When the station was sold to Citidel for $22 million in 2004, the format was flipped to an unsuccessful talk format before ending up with its current format.
