Owned and operated by Akron Public Schools, the station airs an Adult Album Alternative (AAA) format as “91.3 the Summit”.
The station moved the transmitter site in December 2002 from the original antenna on top of the studio building at 70 North Broadway Street to the WVPX television tower to increase signal coverage to points west and south of Akron.
In October 2008, WAPS installed a digital transmitter and panel antenna system to maximize the 2,000-watt signal and to begin broadcasting on HD Radio.
As part of the HD radio initiative, it launched a HD2 audio channel originally named "Summit Flashbacks," offering a commercial-free mix of "new wave" inspired music from the years 1976 through 1994.
Radio aims "to embrace technology by combining high-quality entertainment with a solid foundation for strengthening self-esteem, providing simple steps to good nutrition and developing a positive attitude.
