WSSA

WSSA (W South Side Atlanta) was a Country station licensed to Morrow, Georgia.  1570 AM is currently WIGO and plays Gospel music.
Bobby C. Hanson aka Ludlow Porch was a humorist and radio host for over 35 years as well as an author of multiple books.  Ludlow's entrance into radio came via a 1972 article in Sports Illustrated which profiled him as a master of trivia.  This led to an appearance on Atlanta's WSB which was heard by the management of WRNG radio who invited him to visit.  He ended up working there for 10 years.  At one point his show was simulcast on a few dozen stations across the south. Ludlow Porch was inducted into the Georgia Radio Hall of Fame in 2007 and passed away in 2011.
