WTHS is a student operated radio station licensed to Hope College in Holland, Michigan.

History

Carrier Current

The station began in 1956, when Hope student Richard Brockmeier transmitted a signal from his room through the wiring of the then-new Kollen Hall residence hall. Brockmeier joined Hope's faculty in 1966 teaching computer science and physics until his death in 1993.

WTAS-AM

Regular programming began in 1957 as WTAS ("The Anchor Station," paying homage to the college's logo). WTAS-AM 610 operated from studios in the basement at the southwest corner of Kollen Hall for over 25 years. In 1981, WTAS began simulcasting on 103.3 FM on a radio service then offered by local Continental Cablevision of Holland. This "FM cable" carried a number of Chicago and West Michigan FM stations. It was offered to cable television subscribers throughout the Holland and Zeeland communities.

WTHS-FM

A student project, started in the fall of 1979, lead to the move to FM on September 27, 1985. WTHS-FM 89.9 (We're The Hope Station) was licensed to operate with 1,000 watts (directional). New studios in the DeWitt Center were opened at that time.

In 2006 the station moved to its fourth location, in the newly built Martha Miller Center for Global Communication. The 199 foot tower (153 feet above average terrain) and antenna remain at the DeWitt Center. A celebratory open house was held January 24, 2007 dedicating the new studios and celebrating 50 years of broadcasting.

WTHS continues to thrive as a modern/alternative rock station.
