Catawba College Foundation buying WSAT

Salisbury radio station WSAT-AM is being sold by CAP Communications, Inc. to a newly established Catawba College Foundation, the college said in a news release.

Although WSAT will continue its traditional broadcasts with longtime announcer and current owner Buddy Poole remaining in his role as president and general manager overseeing day-to-day operations, the station will have a new purpose. It will become the platform for Catawba College students majoring in business or communication arts hoping to pursue careers in radio broadcasting.
