The station operates at the federally assigned frequency of 1340 kHz with a full-time power output of 1,000 watts.
That station, WGMR (which was sold to Forever Broadcasting in Altoona in 2008), was granted license to operate at 101.1 MHz and signed on August 15, 1961.
Thus, many duties were centralized (traffic, billing, upper management) in the Tyrone office, requiring only airstaff and sales consultants at the individual stations.
This business model would start to become the accepted standard following the first round of FCC ownership limit changes that began in 1992.
Cary Simpson, in addition to his duties as AMN President, managed WTRN and did occasional on-air work such as parade broadcasts and interviews.
The sale of WTRN from the Simpson estate to Lightner Communications, LLC was approved by the FCC on August 22, 2017.
Following FCC approval of the sale, Lightner Communications began an extensive renovation of WTRN's studios and transmitter, resulting in a major improvement in sound quality and coverage.
WTRN also began streaming its real-time audio over the internet and the TuneIn Radio mobile phone app.
