is a
Variety Hits Radio Station serving the
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania market. The station, which is owned by Steel City Media, broadcasts at 96.9
MHz with an
ERP of 45 kw, and is licensed to
Braddock, Pennsylvania .
Prior to its switch to the
Classic Rock format in the late
1980s , WRRK's previous formats and
Call Letters included
Easy Listening and
Adult Contemporary as WLOA-FM (it was also simulcast on an AM station when it was WLOA, which is now All-Talk
WURP ) and
Soft Rock as WFFM and WMYG. The station originally continued to use the WMYG calls from the soft rock era when the classic rock format was launched, but eventually dropped them in favor of the WRRK calls.
As of
November 1 st,
2005 , WRRK switched to a "we play everything" format, under the moniker
Bob FM 96.9. Station IDs were accompanied by claims that listening to them is like "having your radio dial stuck in scan mode". Songs such as
The Eagles ' "
Hotel California " are played back to back with
Stacie Orrico 's "More to Life" or
Nick Lachey 's "Whats Left of Me" .
In early 2006, it was rumored that the station had changed its call sign to WBZB. However, this was not true
{Link without Title} , and in early 2007, a
Long Island ,
New York station (the former
WBON ) took the WBZB callsign.
96.9 BOB FM is the only radio dial in Pittsburgh not to have syndicated shows.
