The station began with the call letters WMCK, and was a Top 40 station with the call letters WIXZ ("Wick-zee 1360") beginning in 1969. Among its disc jockeys during the Top 40 era was Jeff Christie, better known today by his real name, Rush Limbaugh. Hampered as a suburban station with a limited nighttime signal, it would later go through different formats and owners before switching to a talk format in 1999, at which time it took the WPTT call letters (formerly on channel 22 in Pittsburgh). On August 19, 2008, Renda Broadcasting announced that WPTT would be switching formats from talk to financial advice;[1] this was accompanied by a call change to WMNY. In all of its incarnations since WMCK, the radio station has positioned itself as a Pittsburgh outlet, rather than directly addressing the suburb of McKeesport.
On September 19, 2011, Renda Broadcasting announced that WMNY would return to its "AM News Talk 1360" format. This format contains numerous popular talk programs from the Talk Radio Network based radio network.
The WMNY calls were previously heard on the station now known as WBBF (1120 kHz) in Buffalo, New York.
WMNY carries programming from several local and national sources including: Mid-1AM: Rusty Humphries 1AM-5AM: Phil Hendrie 5AM-6AM: Simulcast of WTAE Morning News 6AM-9AM: America’s Morning News 9AM-Noon: Laura Ingraham Noon-3PM: America’s Radio News Network 3PM-6PM: The American Entrepreneur 6PM-7PM: America’s Radio News Network 7PM-10PM: Lou Dobbs 10PM-Mid: Rusty Humphries
