KDKA-FM (93.7 FM), branded as "SportsRadio 93.7 The Fan", is a radio station in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Owned by CBS Radio, the station operates at 93.7 MHz with an ERP of 41 kW. Its studios are located at Foster Plaza in Green Tree west of downtown Pittsburgh, and the transmitter is located on Mount Washington (next to their former studios) in Pittsburgh's South Shore area.
The station programs a sports radio format, and serves as the flagship station for the Pittsburgh Pirates of Major League Baseball (MLB). It simulcasts its AM namesake, KDKA on its HD2 subchannel, while HD3 is the national broadcast feed of CBS Sports Radio.
The 93.7 frequency in Pittsburgh began its life as WKJF-FM in the 1950s, an independently owned FM station. For a brief time, there was a co-owned UHF TV station, WKJF-TV (channel 53; now occupied by WPGH-TV), which operated in 1953-54.
During its early incarnations as WKJF, WKOI, and WJOI, the station programmed a beautiful music format. During the 1960s, Bill Hillgrove, who would later become a Pittsburgh sportscaster, was a staff member and hosted a Saturday night big band show titled "Stereo Dance Party." For many years, the station was owned by EZ Communications.
