WHTT-FM (104.1 FM), is a commercial radio station based in Buffalo, New York United States. The station has a classic hits format and is known by the name "104.1 WHTT".
WHTT broadcasts in HD Radio and is owned by Cumulus Media. Its transmitter and studios are separately located in Buffalo.
WHTT originally signed on in 1947 as WWOL, a station targeting Lackawanna. Its transmitter is located on Dorrance Avenue near Abbott Road on the border between West Seneca and Lackawanna. One of the station's early disc jockeys was Guy King, who later found fame under the name Tom Clay; another, country musician Ramblin' Lou Schriver, spent six years at the station (1964–70) before buying his own outlet, WXRL. Joey Reynolds also briefly worked at the station in the 1950s. The station also held the calls WWOR and WACJ. It would change call signs to WNYS in 1982 when it flipped to a Top 40 format, later taking on the moniker "The All New Hot 104". During the WNYS years, the station employed female comic, progressive talker, and future WQHT morning jock herself, Stephanie Miller.
The station changed formats and call letters in the autumn of 1986, switching to classic hits with the moniker "Classic Hits 104.1 WHTT". The station was one of the first to take the "classic hits" moniker in the United States, and did so due to the lack of a classic rock station in Buffalo after WRLT switched to adult contemporary music. In May 1989, after WRLT went back to classic rock as WGRF, WHTT became an oldies music outlet playing hits from the 1950s, 1960s and early 1970s with the on air branding "Oldies 104".
