WPTT (1360) is a talk radio station that serves the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania market. Owned by Renda Broadcasting, the station operates at 1360 kHz with a power of 5,000 watts daytime, 1,000 watts nighttime, and is licensed to McKeesport, Pennsylvania.

The station has applied to switch frequencies with WAVL-AM in Apollo, Pennsylvania, moving from AM 1360 to the stronger AM 910 and increasing power on the new frequency.

History

The station began with the call letters WMCK, and was a Top 40 station with the call letters WIXZ ("Wick-zee 1360") beginning in 1969. Hampered as a suburban station with a limited nighttime signal, it would later go through different formats and owners before switching to its current format in 1999, at which time the WPTT call letters (formerly on channel 22 in Pittsburgh) were adopted. In all of its incarnations since WMCK, the radio station has positioned itself as a Pittsburgh outlet, rather than directly addressing the suburb of McKeesport.

Program content

WPTT carries a simulcast of WTAE-TV's local morning news, and broadcasts local hosts Lynn Cullen and Doug Hoerth. WPTT also carries syndicated programming including Laura Ingraham, Thom Hartmann, Clark Howard, Alan Colmes and Coast to Coast AM.
