WZUM is a outlet that offers religious and time-brokered programming. The station, which is owned by Horvath Broadcasting, operates at 1590KHz with a ERP of 1kw-Daytime only power and is licensed to Carnegie, Pennsylvania.

History

During the 1970s WZUM was a AOR outlet until its flip to religious programming as WPLW later on in the decade. In 1998 it reclaimed the WZUM calls and flipped to Smooth Jazz, only to go dark in 1999. It would later return with brokered shows, with Catholic programming added in 2002.

Recently the station applied for a upgrade that would add nighttime coverage.
