WLTJ (92.9 FM), is a Hot Adult Contemporary music format radio station based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The station, which is owned by Saul Frischling, through licensee WPNT Media Subsidiary, LLC, broadcasts with an ERP of 43 kW. Its transmitter is co-located with the transmission facilities of WPGH-TV and WPNT in the Summer Hill area of Pittsburgh, and its studios are located at Centre City Tower in the downtown area.
WLTJ was originally known as W75P, and at times was simulcast with its then AM sister station, KDKA.
In the late 1950s, several systems to add stereo to FM radio were considered by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Included were systems from 14 competitors, such as Crosley, Halstead, EMI, Zenith Electronics Corporation and General Electric. The individual systems were evaluated for their strengths and weaknesses during field tests in Uniontown, Pennsylvania using KDKA-FM in Pittsburgh as the originating station. While credit is given for WEFM Chicago and WGFM Schenectady, New York on June 1, 1961 as the first stereo FM broadcasters, KDKA-FM was the first to broadcast in stereo, albeit on an experimental basis.
During the 1970s, KDKA-FM was an automated station that played beautiful music during the day, and classical music at night. During morning and afternoon drive periods, the station joined its AM sister for rebroadcasting its intensive news blocks.
