WLAN (1390 kHz, "Rumba 93.1") is a commercial AM radio station licensed to serve Lancaster, Pennsylvania. The station is owned by iHeartMedia, Inc. through licensee Clear Channel Broadcasting Licenses, Inc. and airs a spanish tropical music format.
WLAN signed on for the first time on August 9, 1946. The station was originally owned by The Altdoerffer Family of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. In January 1948, the Federal Communications Commission authorized WLAN to change from 1000 watts (daytime only) to 1000 watts (full-time), concurrent with a change in frequency from 1320 kHz to 1390 kHz. In 1949, a companion FM station was added, WLAN-FM. In the 1960s and 70s, WLAN offered a Top 40 format and was an affiliate of the ABC Radio Contemporary Network. As Top 40 music listening switched to FM, WLAN became an Adult contemporary music station, and by the early 2000s it switched to adult standards.
On January 4, 2010, WLAN changed its format from standards to classic hits. Then, on February 7, 2012, the station switched to a conservative Talk radio format, simulcast from co-owned WHP in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Programming included Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, and other nationally syndicated conservative talk hosts, plus WHP's own RJ Harris & Bob During.
