WLTM FM ("94.9 Lite FM") is an Atlanta FM radio station that plays adult contemporary music. Oldies music can be heard on 94.9 HD-2 (HD Radio needed).
The station began as religious WAVQ-FM, sister ro WAVO-AM. In the 1970's, the format changed to easy listening with the WPCH callsign. In the early 1980s) the station's format switched from easy listening to soft AC as a response to WSB-FM's format change. The name was "95 WPCH" until the early 1990's, whrn the Peach 94.9 name was adopted. In December 2002, the name "Peach" was dropped, and the station is now the much more generic 94.9 Lite FM, a brand used by fellow Clear Channel Communications stations in other cities.
Prior to Christmas, the station plays all Christmas music. This begins extremely early, on weekends in early November, and is also cut off a week early, even before midnight Christmas night. Holiday music goes all day every day starting the weekend before Thanksgiving. Its transmitter is located in Atlanta.
The station currently has Randy & Spiff as its morning show. The duo were formerly at WFOX "Fox 97" (now WSRV "The River") and briefly at then sister Clear Channel Station WLCL FM "Cool 105.7". Lite's morning show from May 2003 until March 2005 was married couple Gene & Julie, who are now in Dallas at KVIL. The nighttime show is the syndicated Delilah.
Along with WSB-FM, this station is the primary entry point (PEP) for Emergency Alert System messages for the state of Georgia. In an emergency, the two stations receive alerts via secure networks directly from the U.S. president, the Georgia Emergency Management Agency, and the National Weather Service. All other broadcast stations and cable TV systems in metro Atlanta must monitor these two stations at all times with their EAS equipment. Alerts are then relayed across the state by other stations.
