Local high school and college sports coverage include football, basketball, and hockey.

WSYB was launched by Henry Seward and Philip Weiss, owners of a music store at 33 Center Street in Rutland.

Since the shut down of competitor 970 WHWB in 1993, WSYB remains the only AM radio station serving the local Rutland area.

On the other hand, with the night time signal aimed to the northeast, there had been reception reports from listeners in the Canadian Maritimes, England, and even Finland.

WSYB, its FM sister WZRT, and several other Clear Channel properties were swapped out to Pamal Broadcasting in exchange for WRNX in Northampton, Massachusetts.

This swap gave Pamal ownership of five out the six commercial radio signals in the local Rutland area.
