WPME-FM Punxsutawney, a "shadow" of its AM sister

Signing on at 105.5 MHz, WPXZ originated as WPME-FM, simulcasting with its then same-named daytime only AM sister station, known today as WECZ. In 1981, the station pair would both be rebranded as WPXZ-AM/FM, continuing with simulcasting until 1989, when management finally began separate broadcasts. Seeing the FM station as the driving force of the two, the AM station would be rebranded under the WECZ call sign.

While WECZ would adopt a format featuring big band, swing and other types of nostalgia music aimed at an older demographic and branded as "Easy 1540," WPXZ-FM continued operating under an adult contemporary format, albeit with a full service mindset. In addition to music the station's programming featured hourly ABC national news, high school sports and Pittsburgh Pirates baseball broadcasts, and a wide variety of other, locally-themed programming. The station would also operate a second studio/office location in nearby Brookville for a period of 15 years, ending in the mid-1990s.
