KDKA-FM

KDKA-FM (93.7 MHz, "93.7 The Fan") is a commercial FM radio station licensed to serve Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

During the 1960s, Bill Hillgrove, who would later become a Pittsburgh sportscaster, was a staff member and hosted a Saturday night big band show titled "Stereo Dance Party".

[6] B94 was also an affiliate of The Rockin' America Top 30 Countdown with Scott Shannon throughout the 1980s, as well as Open House Party with John Garabedian during the 1990s.

B94 featured local morning shows such as "Quinn and Banana" (hosted by Jim Quinn and "Banana" Don Jefferson) from its debut in 1983 until 1993, and "JohnDaveBubbaShelley" (hosted by John Cline, Dave Kaelin, Marc "Bubba" Snider and Shelley Duffy, along with some minor personality changes) from 1993 through 2004.

In 2000, Clear Channel Communications unveiled a new Top 40 format on WKST-FM (the former WXKX), calling itself "KISS-FM", and began to take a large chunk out of B94's audience.

With more syndicated programming featuring national air talent and focusing more on the younger audience, B94, for the first time, saw itself slipping into second place.

[11] In 2004, Clear Channel Communications dropped The Howard Stern Show on its longtime Pittsburgh outlet WXDX-FM.

In response, WBZZ operations manager Keith Clark decided to flip the station's format after 23 years, and not only wanted to pick up Stern to improve ratings, but also unveil a new active rock format known as "93.7 K-Rock" to compete with Clear Channel's other Pittsburgh rock stations.

At 8 a.m. on June 30, 2004, after briefly touting a major announcement, WBZZ's on-air talent gathered to say goodbye to Pittsburgh, thanking the city for its support throughout the years.

Ratings for the station improved initially after the switch, but began to decline before Howard Stern's departure for Sirius Satellite Radio.

The Kidd Chris afternoon drive time show, from co-owned WYSP in Philadelphia, aired on 93.7 from August 28, 2006, until March 19, 2007.

Joining the lineup were Opie and Anthony, Pittsburgh native Dennis Miller, and former WDVE personality Scott Paulsen.

At 10 a.m. on October 1, 2007, after the Opie and Anthony Show ended, WTZN began stunting with Christmas music, in anticipation of a format flip scheduled for later that week.

CBS would later launch the format in Houston, San Francisco, New York City, Los Angeles, Detroit, Boston, Orlando and Philadelphia before 2017.

[20][21] The change was part of an initiative by CBS to establish FM sports talk stations across the country.

[22] On February 14, 93.7 began stunting with music played at sports events, also known as "Jock Jams", with B94 listeners being redirected to WZPT.
