WMSS (91.1 FM, "Super 91") is a high school operated high school radio station serving the Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, metropolitan area; it can be received as far south as (certain parts of) York, PA. WMSS broadcasts several different radio formats depending on the time of day. The station's apparent mission is to play once-popular songs that have been abandoned or not represented at all by local commercial stations. The station currently suffers from a lack of publicity, especially among populations who would appreciate the variety of rarely played songs. The station holds the title of being the only high school station in Central Pennsylvania, and it has been on air for more than 30 years. The general manager of the station is John Wilsbach, who is also known for his traffic reports on WTPA-FM.
On weekday mornings (from 6 AM to 3 PM), the station airs a unique hybrid of Soft Adult Contemporary/Easy Listening, mainstream Adult Contemporary, and Rhythmic Adult Contemporary formats, generally focusing on material from the 1960s to the 1990s, including very little post-2000 music. This programming segment features a high percentage of songs that were major or moderate hits from the 1970s through 1990s but are essentially "forgotten" today, hence the relatively high prevalence of easy listening songs, as this genre has been abandoned by mainstream AC stations. During this time of day, the station's variety of music can range from The Beatles to The Supremes to Jim Croce to KC & the Sunshine Band to Phil Collins to Bon Jovi to Madonna to Whitney Houston. After 3 PM on weekdays, the station broadcasts an alternative music format.
