WBSL, founded in 1973 by Berkshire School faculty member Tom Dixon, is on the air weekdays from 7 to 8:00 a.m. and weekday and Sunday evenings from 7:00 to 11:00 when school is in session. During those times when students and faculty are not on the air, WBSL transmits the signal of National Public Radio affiliate WHDD-FM in nearby Sharon, Conn., giving WBSL 24-hour airtime. WHDD provides familiar NPR shows such as All Things Considered, Car Talk and BBC World News, as well as emphasizing local coverage.

Notable broadcasters who began their career at WBSL include longtime San Francisco jazz programmer and morning host Roger Coryell.
