POTTSTOWN PA – Pottstown community radio station WBZH 1370-AM, promoting itself as “The Buzz,” plans later this week to announce what it called “the launch of a major campaign … designed to assist revitalization efforts throughout the Tri-County (Montgomery, Chester and Berks counties) area,” it said in an e-mail Sunday (Feb. 5, 2012).

Details of the campaign are to be revealed during a press conference Tuesday (Feb. 7) at 5 p.m. at the station’s broadcasting studios and offices at 224 Maugers Mill Rd. Pottstown PA, according to Programming Director Dave Devlin.

• This event has been added to The Post calendar.

WBZH is the reincarnation of former long-time radio station WPAZ-AM, which served Pottstown since 1952 but was closed and taken off the air in December 2009 by Great Scott Broadcasting and the remaining members of its founding Scott family. Delaware-based Great Scott sold the station to Four Rivers Broadcasting, and it re-opened in January 2011 with community-oriented programming, much of it created by volunteers.

“We are a partner in the revitalization of Pottstown and the growth of the surrounding area, providing a voice for the citizens and organizations in our area,” the station website said.

The station has expanded upon local interviews and high school sports broadcasts that seemed to make WPAZ such a listening staple, and also added programs with a wide variety of musical styles. last month it also launched a community calendar to collect dates and times of area events and happenings, and most recently issued a call to broadcast local musicians and bands.
