WASR is licensed to Wolfeboro, New Hampshire, and serves the New Hampshire Lakes Region. The station is owned by Winnipesaukee Radio Station, LLC and runs local programming with national news from I Heart Media's TotalTraffic and Weather.[1] In February 2020 new station manager Eric Scott changed the format to variety hits with some local talk including a live call in show at noon, a local sports show on Friday afternoons, and a live Catholic Mass Sunday mornings.

At one time, WASR was an adult standards station, carrying Citadel Media's Timeless service. It also tried conservative talk with little success. The station switched to the current format on February 24, 2020.

WASR is also heard on a 250-watt FM translator, 97.1 W246DI. Some listeners may prefer hearing the station on FM, especially at sunset when the AM must reduce power from 5,000 watts to 137 watts and is more difficult to hear outside of Wolfeboro.
