WJTI (1460 AM) is a radio station broadcasting a Regional Mexican format playing a mix of salsa, mariachi and merengue. Licensed to West Allis, Wisconsin, USA, the station serves the Milwaukee area. The station is currently owned by El Sol Broadcasting, LLC and features programing from ABC Radio , CNN Radio and ESPN Radio.[1]
The 1460 kHz frequency signed on the air in 1950 with the WRAC call sign. The owner of the station purchased another Racine station, WRJN-FM in 1969, changing it to WRAC-FM. A year later, the FM station flipped to a rock-leaning top 40 format as WRKR, and WRAC later adopted that call sign, simulcasting their FM sister station.
It was also for a brief time WWEG ("The Country Egg") before returning to WRKR and again simulcasting the FM signal. Later, there was a short lived Spanish format.
The station switched calls to WBZN on October 14, 1987, simulcasting its sister station's new smooth jazz format. Both stations flipped to urban contemporary in 1991, becoming WKKV.
The AM station broke away from the simulcast in November 1993, flipping to a Spanish-language format as WBJX. The year 2007 brought the current call sign, WJTI, and a new city of license, the Milwaukee suburb of West Allis.[2]
