History

WTAB signed on on July 1, 1954. On September 1, 1965 it gained a sister F.M. station with the addition of WTAB-FM/104.9 (later WKSM & now WYNA).

WTAB received notoriety in 2009 when Sal Governale and Richard Christy from The Howard Stern Show made prank calls to the station's "Swap Shop" program hosted by Jack Miller. According to Miller, the station's website ended up with over 10 million hits and even praised Stern for giving his station some word.
