WRVC (930 AM) is a radio station in Huntington, West Virginia. It is currently the Tri-State's affiliate of ESPN Radio, and is owned by Kindred Communications. WRVC began operations on October 16, 1923 as WSAZ, operated by Glenn Chase in his electric shop in Pomeroy, Ohio. Chase had his hands full keeping the station going; as he put it, "even a loud voice could put the station off the air." Years later, Chase claimed the station was such a burden to him that he asked the United States Department of Commerce to assign it the call letters WSAZ to signify that it was the "Worst Station from A to Z. A more likely explanation is that the call letters were sequentially assigned by the United States Department of Commerce between WSAX in Chicago, Illinois (now defunct) and WSAY in Port Chester,
