Authorities tracked the equipment to near Cincinnati, Ohio where the young men were operating a pirate radio station.

Once the equipment was returned (in good shape), Martin restored the station to full capacity and was able to begin broadcasting on Valentine's Day 1953.

Notable local programming on WSLM-FM and WRLW-CD TV which is simulcast on WSLM AM, is Coffee Club, Blue Sky Church, four daily newscasts, Ag and market reports, Swap Shop, a trading program airing twice daily and Texas Ed's bluegrass show on weekday afternoons.

The station also airs, by default, IU and Purdue broadcasts, as well as local high school football and basketball games.

Another local program called "Trivia" which is actually the Saturday edition of Coffee Club, airs on Saturday mornings offering listeners a chance to call in and win either a WSLM T-shirt or a Christian music CD by answering a trivia question on secular items and from the Bible.
