WPXZ-FM

WPXZ-FM is a commercial FM radio station licensed to Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, known as the "Weather Capital of the World".

Signing on at 105.5 MHz, WPXZ originated in December 1973 as WPME-FM, simulcasting with its then same-named daytime-only AM sister station, known today as WECZ.

That year, the station pair would both be rebranded as WPXZ-AM-FM, continuing with simulcasting until 1989, when management finally began separate broadcasts.

In addition to its music, the station's programming featured hourly national news from ABC News Radio, high school sports, Pittsburgh Pirates baseball broadcasts, American Top 40 with Casey Kasem (later Shadoe Stevens) broadcasts on weekends, and a wide variety of other locally-themed programming.

Increased efforts at local news and sports, as well as community-oriented events, resulted in a very successful turnaround for all three stations.
