WPTI (94.5 FM) is a commercial radio station, owned by iHeartMedia, licensed to Eden, North Carolina, and serving the Piedmont Triad, including the Greensboro–Winston-Salem–High Point media market.
The transmitter is located further north than most of the major Triad stations, allowing much of Southside Virginia (Martinsville, Danville) to get a city-grade signal.
[1] WPTI broadcasts using HD Radio technology and formerly carried the iHeartRadio replay channel of the syndicated music show "On the Move with Enrique Santos", heard mostly on Top 40 stations, on its HD-2 digital subchannel.
WEAF played quarter hour sweeps of mostly instrumental cover versions of popular songs as well as Broadway and Hollywood show tunes.
Later the name was changed to "I-94.5"[citation needed] to help listeners more easily find the station during the time that digital tuners were replacing traditional analog receivers.
[3] WWMY switched to Soft Adult Contemporary music in 1990, later changing to the new call letters WMKG and the name "Magic Lite" when WMAG began providing the station's programming.
[4][5] The purchase of WNEU by Radio Equity Partners was announced in July 1994 and it was believed the station would become the "rocking country cousin" to WTQR.
"[9] On February 16, 2006, at 5 p.m., after playing "Don't Forget About Us" by Mariah Carey, WGBT switched to a Spanish-language classic hits format as "La Preciosa.
[11][12] On December 31, 2009, WGBT ended its Regional Mexican format, becoming talk station "Rush Radio 94.5" under the new call sign WPTI.
The Glenn Beck Program and a local show called The Morning Rush hosted by Bill Flynn and Pamela Furr debuted January 4.
