[edit] History
WAMO-FM signed on in 1960 at 105.9 and had the most powerful signal coverage in western Pennsylvania. It also had various formats during its early years as well, which also included AOR, Disco, and Rhythmic Contemporary Hits. However, they had better success with its Urban Contemporary direction, of which they continue with today. In 1974, WAMO-FM and WAMO began separate programming. WAMO aired gospel programming aired on Monday through Friday, and on weekends its simulcasted WAMO-FM. WAMO-FM was formatted as an Urban contemporary station with gospel programming on Sunday.
In 1993, that all changed when Sheridan swapped signals with WXDX-FM and moved to the 106.7 frequency. It also simulcasted its format with WSSZ to cover the eastern part of the metro. In 1998, the 106.7 frequency was assigned WRKZ, which is now assigned to 93.7. In 2004, WAMO was listenable again throughout the area thanks in part to a transmitter move, while WSSZ shifted to Urban Adult Contemporary and became WJJJ-FM, "Majic 107.1". Also in 2004, the station changed its longtime on-air brand from "106 Jamz, WAMO" to "106.7 WAMO, Pittsburgh's #1 for Hip Hop and R&B".
