Sponsored by Wilkens Jewelry Company, a 1942 review in the trade publication Billboard said the show "remains Pittsburgh's most popular local program".

WJAS boasted of two personalities with long and storied histories in Pittsburgh media: Jack Bogut and Bill "Chilly Billy" Cardille.

In August 2014, Renda Broadcasting sold WJAS to Pittsburgh Radio Partners LLC, a company controlled by Frank Iorio, Jr.

WJAS did not choose to carry WPGB's signature morning drive program "Quinn and Rose", which returned to the Pittsburgh radio market on WBGG in 2018.

In March 2021, after Limbaugh's death, rather than carrying its successor The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show, the station hired Rose Somma-Tennent.

[10] In November 2020, Iorio exited radio and sold WJAS and translator W256DE to St. Barnabas Health System for $2.05 million.
