WYUP operates at the federally assigned frequency of 1400 kilohertz and a maximum power output of 1,000 watts. The station is licensed to the community of Loretto and is owned by Matt Lightner, through licensee Lightner Communications, LLC. HistoryWYUP has roots that can be traced all the way back to November 1922, when it first signed on the air with the callsign WTAC. In the 9 decades that have passed, WYUP has seen a myriad of call letter and frequency changes along the way. WTAC signed on on the wavelength of "360 meters" (833 kHz) and went through three different channel assignments before settling on 1400 kHz in 1941. The 1400 AM frequency first appeared in the region as one of many channel assignments for WJAC in Johnstown, which first signed on the air in 1925. WJAC later moved to 850 in 1963, leaving 1400 open and available. 1400 AM was picked up by St. Francis College (now St. Francis University) that year and signed on as WWSF October 7, 1963. The college continued its ownership of the station until about 1981, when it was sold to Sherlock-Hart Broadcasting. Rebranded as WAMQ, the new country-formatted station moved from the college campus to the First United Federal Building in Ebensburg, where it remained until it was sold in August 1992 to Sherlock-Hart Broadcasting employee Tom Stevens, who had worked for Sherlock-Hart Broadcasting's FM property WBXQ in Altoona (but licensed to Cresson). Stevens changed to call letters to WJRV and the format to soft rock, and relocated the studios to his home. Unforeseen circumstances later forced the station to go silent and Stevens to sell the station in 1996 to Allegheny Broadcasting Corporation for $75,000. Under this new owner, the call letters were changed to WEBG (the call letters of another Ebensburg AM that had been given up years previously) before being sold to Radiowerks in 1999. DisappearanceDuring the summer of 2012, the by-then WWGE (at the time running a conservative talk radio format) disappeared from the AM dial due to unknown circumstances, and the future of the station was also unknown. ReemergenceDuring the summer of 2013, WWGE returned to the air under a local marketing agreement (LMA) with Williamsport-based Pioneer Sports Productions, LLC. In February 2014, Radiowerks agreed to sell WWGE to Pioneer Sports Productions; the sale was consummated effective December 9, 2014. Owner Todd Bartley transferred WWGE's license to his wholly owned Colonial Radio Group of Williamsport, LLC on August 17, 2015. (This Colonial Radio Group is no longer related to the Colonial Radio Group run by Jeffrey Andrulonis; the similarity in names comes from Andrulonis's previous investment in the Williamsport company.) On August 10, 2018, Todd Bartley sold WWGE to Lightner Communications LLC. Lightner, owners of WTRN, changed the callsign to WYUP and has applied to the FCC to move the yet-to-be-constructed FM translator to Altoona, Pennsylvania at 107.1 MHz. On October 23, 2018 WYUP dropped its adult standards/sports format, which overlapped extensively with new sister station WTRN, and began stunting towards a new format to launch on November 1.[1] WYUP stunted with a rotating wheel of formats and potential brands for the station: polka (Polka-Mania 107), hip hop (Red Hot 107.1), classic country (Billy), classic rock (Bullwinkle) 50s/60s oldies (Chill 107) and 70s/80s classic hits (The Cucumber). The stunt loop includes examples of songs from the previous adult standards format being "blown up" a few seconds after they begin along with Also sprach Zarathustra (Strauss) playing in between the songs and questions like "Are you tuning in to hear music like this?" and the message of "This station will be unlike any other in the history of our town," but on-air announcements claim that the real format that was introduced at 5:00 p.m. November 1 has never been tried in the station's broadcast area. On November 1, 2018 at 4:15 PM, 2 dj's played a bunch of songs with the name "Jack" culminating with the launch of the "Jack FM" format 45 minutes later. ProgrammingAs with most Jack FM stations, WYUP has no disc jockeys or organized programming, relying entirely on pre-recorded liners from Howard Cogan, the voice of Jack FM nationwide.
