[3] On weekdays, it carries news and information programming, with classical music heard late nights, seven days a week.

[5] Even though Huntsville beat Birmingham, the state's largest city in 1976 (in population), in getting Alabama's first public radio station in October 1976 (the present WLRH), WBHM did not follow far behind, beginning operations on December 5.

WBHM became Birmingham's full-time classical music station since the demise of a commercial FM outlet, WSFM, which gave way to the present WDJC-FM in 1967.

WSGN began operation as WEXP (for experiment) on February 11, 1975, primarily as a training facility for Gadsden State Community College's broadcasting department.

Construction was performed by broadcast instructors Don Smith and Bob Mayben with assistance from WBRC-TV personnel in Birmingham.

When both Smith and Mayben left the school for other interests, new instructor Neil Mullen took over the station operation and a cooperative arrangement was struck with WBHM to provide programming.

Arts-related segments on WBHM are now a part of regular news and feature shows, but Tapestry is no longer broadcast over the air.
