WDMT

The Mountain, is an adult album alternative radio station in Pittston, Pennsylvania. The station's website states "Independent Radio" as part of its mission. Station IDs often include the phrase "It's different here." On August 5, 2013 The Mountain moved from its original frequency at 102.3 MHz under the call letters of WDMT to 98.5 MHz on the HD2 band and assumed the call letters WKRZ-HD2 from its sister station 98.5 KRZ. The Mountain and 98.5 KRZ are owned and operated by Entercom Communications including radio stations WKRZ, WGGY, WILK-FM, WILK and most recently WHBS, taking The Mountain's frequency at 102.3 MHz under a new format.

Format

The Mountain built its reputation on a More Music, Less Hype philosophy without typical on air contests and stereotypical radio. The playlists includes old and new Adult Rock, many B-side tracks as well as music from local artists in the Northeast PA region. The Mountain previously featured hosts referred to as "Mountain Guides," not DJs. Unlike typical DJs who run many promotions, the guides typically gave background on a musician or song. Great guides such as Lou Fontaine, Jack Meyers, Cathy Donnelly and Jim Rising shared their passion for music with our listeners until the move to the new frequency of 98.5 MHz.
