WSBF 88.1

WSBF-FM began as a closed-circuit broadcasting facility on May 1, 1958 and made its first broadcast on April Fool's Day of 1960. It quickly became known as "wizz-bif," and in the early days broadcast such shows as Bob Mattison's (the "Voice of Clemson") agricultural shows (also Broadcast on AM stations in Anderson, Spartanburg, and Columbia). Other Early shows included a show braodcast from Harcombe in the mornings, a "Late, Late" show featuring old standards, and a "Concert Hall" show featuring the classics. By 1965, WSBF had changed format to include "The Frank Howard Show," "Pigskin Preview," "Night Beat," and "East of Midnight." The purpose was to provide students with educational enterainment, news, and music. The next major format change occurred under Woody Culp, changing to that of "progressive." The strategy at that time was heavy airplay for the most contemporary new groups. Off-
