Since April 2001 they are WIHT - hot. Owned by CC. Quoting from DCRTV.com: http://www.dcrtv.net/mediawf.html 99.5 WIHT WASHINGTON DC contemporary In April 2001 station owner Clear Channel flipped 99.5 from "Jammin' Oldies" to a "hot" rhythmic urbanish contemporary hit format. The WJMO calls became WIHT. The urban oldies format (as WJMO) only lasted two years - being born in April 1999. Before that, 99.5 spent more than three decades playing relaxing music as WGAY. WGAY played a laid back mix of adult contemporary tunes which evolved from elevator music of the 1970s. The old WGAY of the 1960s and 1970s was the ultimate "relaaaaaxing" elevator music station. Its ads featured station programmer Bob Chandler leaning way back in a recliner with his station's "easy" music playing in the background. For a while in the early 1990s, WGAY switched its calls and became "Bright 99.5" WEBR, but listeners didn't accept the more up-tempo music. Clear Channel owns WIHT. The first station on this frequency was WCFM, owned by the Cooperative Broadcasting Association. The station went dark for a while before WGAY arrived. ============================ Also from DCRTV: July 21, 2003 PGC's 1st Again, TOP Jumps To 2nd Once again urban WPGC-FM was in 1st place (up from winter's 2nd) in the spring Arbitron quarterly radio ratings for DC, out on 7/21. In the overall age 12+ numbers, all-news WTOP placed 2nd (up from 3rd). Adult urban WMMJ ranked 3rd (down from 1st), with adult urban WHUR 4th (up from 6th), urban WKYS 5th (down from 4th), classical WGMS 6th (down from 4th), news talk WMAL 7th (holding level), smooth jazz WJZW 8th (up from 9th), with a tie for 9th between country WMZQ (up from 13th) and oldies WBIG (up from 12th). Hot talk WJFK-FM was 11th (up from 14th), hot adult contemporary WRQX 12th (down from 8th), rhythmic contemporary WIHT 13th (down from 11th), adult contemporary WASH 14th (down from 9th) in a tie with rocker WWDC (up from 16th). [My comment -- WMMJ is a Class A station, the rest of the FMs are B.] |
