WTDA is an FM radio station in Westerville, Ohio at 103.9 MHz. It currently broadcasts a Classic Hits format and is the Central Ohio radio broadcast home of the Pittsburgh Steelers.
The station broadcast classic rock music as WEGE "Eagle 103.9" prior to becoming WTDA "Ted FM" in 2004, when it started playing a mix of Top-40-based hits, ranging from the '60s through current popular hit music. With the Ted FM format, WTDA used the slogan "We Play Anything." The station's current call letters attempt to incorporate this "Ted FM" branding. In September 2005, the station's owners added the Bob & Tom show, which had been dropped by Clear Channel's WBWR.[1]
On January 8, 2007, WTDA rebranded itself as the first and only FM talk station in Columbus, picking up the Glenn Beck radio show after the program was dropped from rival station WTVN. [2]
On September 8, 2007, the Columbus Dispatch reported that the station had become the Columbus radio home of the Pittsburgh Steelers. "We are aware that Pittsburgh Steelers fans were underserved in central Ohio," said Hal Fish, program director.
On Monday, December 21st, 2009, the station flipped to Classic Hits and rebranded as "Classic Hits 103.9", using satellite programming from Dial Global's Classic Hits service. [1] WTDA is also one of four radio stations in the Columbus market to have a Classic Hits/Oldies format, joining Newark-based WNKO and the WNND/WNNP "Rewind 103.5/104.3" simulcast.
