WWOT is the Top 40 music formatted radio station in Altoona, Pennsylvania. The station is owned by Forever Broadcasting and is related with Hot 92 in Johnstown, Pennsylvania.

[edit] History of the 100.1 Frequency

100.1 was previously held by WPRR, which was also a CHR formatted station from 1986 until the call letter change to WWOT on March 15, 2005. Prior to the format change in 1986, WPRR had been formatted as AOR since 1980, and prior to 1980 it had been WVAM-FM, an automated, Drake-Chenault, Top 40 station. One of its most popular features in the 1990s was the morning show with Tommy Edwards and Danice Bell, which aired every weekday. Other popular personalities to pass through WPPR during the 1980s and 1990s were Scott St. John, Dave McCall, Steve Hilton, Bob McCarty, Jim Hatch, Darrell Ray, and Rich Dennis.

[edit] Conflict with 100.1 in Romney, West Virginia

As one travels southbound on Interstate 99 towards Bedford, Pennsylvania, WWOT's signal will start to conflict with WDZN of Romney, West Virginia, a Radio Disney affiliate. Neither radio station has done much to take care of this problem.
