WPYT is a new talk radio station serving the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania market. The station, which is owned by Langer Broadcasting, broadcasts on 660 kHz on the AM dial with a power of 260 watts, daytime only, and is licensed to Wilkinsburg, Pennsylvania. WPYT was recently granted a construction permit to increase power to 1400 watts, still daytime only.

[edit] History

The station was originally on 1470 kHz, and licensed to Portage, Pennsylvania, halfway between Johnstown and Altoona. Under FCC rules which permit a station owner to move a daytime-only station and change its frequency, the station was relocated to the Pittsburgh area with a new frequency and city of license.

On 660, the station first signed on with the call letters WCIX. On 1470, it had previously been known as WRML, WWML, WHYM, and WZGO.
