Jack hosts the popular "Swap Shop" show while Richard hosts both mornings and afternoons.

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.[1]

As of May 27, 2011, WTAB is now on the air 24 hours per day, 7 days a week. Previously, WTAB signed off usually at 6 P.M. (unless there's a football game) and returned to the air at 6 A.M. despite being licensed for 24-hour broadcasts.

WTAB was an early affiliate of Casey Kasem's American Top 40 in the early 1970s.[2]
