WOLF ("93.1 the Wolf") is a country music radio station licensed to Winston-Salem, North Carolina, and serving the Piedmont Triad region, which includes Greensboro and High Point. The Entercom outlet broadcasts at 93.1 MHz with an ERP of 100 kW. The station's studios are located near the Piedmont Triad International Airport, and a transmitter site is near Stokesdale, North Carolina. On December 28th 2016 , WPAW Switched to WOLF Callsign.
The station's original calls were WAIR-FM (sister station and simulcast partner to current WPOL). The station was known as "Fresh Air 93". In the late-1960s the station began separate programming with religious during the day and beautiful music at night, with the call letters WGPL.
In 1979, the station returned to a partial simulcast of a Top-40 format with WAIR, but the 93.1 station took on the calls WSEZ and the combination was collectively known as Z-93.
In the 1980s WSEZ completely separated from WAIR, playing Top 40 and later album-oriented rock. In 1985, one-fourth of WAIR programming was a simulcast of WSEZ. On March 6, 1987, the station became WMQX "93-Mix", an adult contemporary station playing hits of the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s with "less talk, more variety". The WMQX letters stayed during the station's entire tenure as an Oldies station, which began in 1990. The format change, along with a name change to Oldies 93-Point-Fun, boosted the station's popularity. Later the name changed to simply, Oldies 93.
