- WAIZ abstract "WAIZ (630 AM) is a radio station broadcasting an oldies format to the Hickory, North Carolina, USA area. The station is currently owned by Newton-Conover Communications, Inc.The format recreates a format resembling a 1960s Top 40 station by using the jingles and other airchecks from WAYS (which was the original \"Big Ways\"), a legendary Charlotte Top 40 station from the 1960s. Since the callsign and frequency of the original \"Big Ways\" was different, the jingles and airchecks used are those that feature the words \"Big Ways\" rather than the actual callsign or frequency.WAIZ's music is drawn largely from the late 1950s and early 1960s, an era largely ignored by many oldies stations in their efforts to appeal to Baby Boomers. It often refers to its music as \"Real Oldies\".The morning drive time is the only time that the station features live on-air announcers, when it simulcasts with its corporate sibling WNNC from nearby Newton, North Carolina. During this time, the music shifts to oldies from the '60s and '70s, which form the basis of WNNC's playlist. This portion of the broadcast day also features a filler segment called \"Something You Should Know\" at 8:30 AM. During the rest of the broadcast day, the station utilizes an automated format, with no live on-air personalities. Songs are played back-to-back, separated by various forms of the station's jingle, pre-recorded weather forecasts, or a filler segment from The History Channel called \"This Week in History.\"Prior to Fall 2014, the station carried broadcasts of The Elvis Only Hour, an hour of music exclusively from \"The King.\" This program aired on Saturdays and Sundays at noon, but has since ceased production.WAIZ airs headline news segments from ABC Radio on the hour and half hour. At the start of the hour, WAIZ does not broadcast the full newscast, but rather, simply the first 2 minutes, similar to the brief newscasts that Top 40 stations of the 1960s often broadcast in their efforts to play as much music as possible. At 30 minutes past the hour, WAIZ airs the full newscast. On weekends and evenings, WAIZ airs sports headlines from ABC Radio at 20 minutes past the hour.The station broadcasts the audio portion of the local newscast of Charlotte's WSOC-TV from 6:00 to 6:30 PM Monday through Friday.WAIZ began has carried broadcasts of the NBA's Charlotte Hornets games starting with the 2010-2011 season. Starting in 2015, WAIZ has aired play-by-play broadcasts of the Lenoir-Rhyne University Bears football games.WAIZ features a relatively low number of commercials, with most commercial messages airing during the live morning drive time segment. Often, instead of airing commercials, WAIZ starts and ends a broadcast hour with messages stating the name of the sponsor for that hour of \"Real Oldies\", similar to underwriting credits read on noncommercial stations.".
