Programming
Unlike competitor WTAK-FM, which programs a so-called "classic rock" (oldies) format, WRTT-FM has focused on releases since 1990, supporting various subgenres such as heavy metal, grunge rock, and the like. More recently, though, it has begun to rotate in songs from the classic rock canon, probably to widen its appeal to somewhat older listeners. WRTT is an affiliate of the Tennessee Titans radio network.[3]
After seven years in mornings on WRTT-FM, The Rick and Bubba Show began airing on crosstown WQRV starting January 2, 2008.[4] The syndicated hosts were replaced on WRTT-FM as of December 3, 2007, by local personalities Jerome Fisher and Rob Harder.[5]
History
WRTT-FM began the "Rocket" format in early 2000 on the former frequency of an all-Christian station, WNDA.[6][2]
The 95.1 frequency was home to the first FM radio station in Huntsville as WHBS-FM in the late 1940s. It was mainly a simulcast of WHBS (1490 AM) which was owned by The Huntsville Times. Later WHBS moved to 1550 AM and increased power to 5,000 watts. The AM station was sold to Smith Broadcasting and became WAAY radio around 1961. (This station would later became WAAJ then WLOR.) WNDA-FM moved from 92.9 FM to 95.1 after WHBS-FM ceased operations around 1960.
