Licensed to Warren, Pennsylvania, United States, the station serves the Jamestown, NY area. The station is currently owned by Radio Partners, LLC and features programming from ABC Radio News and Westwood One's "Greatest Hits" format.[1] HistoryWRRN signed on the air in March 1948, as the sister station of WNAE, an AM station that had signed on after World War II had ended, and the FCC began to issue licenses to radio stations. The licensing process had been halted once the U.S. had entered the war. Northern Allegheny Broadcasting, under the ownership of president and general manager David Potter, was the original licensee of both stations. W. LeRoy Schneck was program director and would one day assume control of both. WRRN first signed on the air with an effective radiated power of 3,000 watts. By the 70s, the station would increase its power to 26,000 watts and then to 50,000 by the 80s. The station would periodically simulcast with WNAE at varying times, as WNAE was a daytime-only station until the late 1980s. In 1974, WNAE and WRRN were sold by Northern Allegheny Broadcasting to Kinzua Broadcasting Company, a company formed by longtime program director W. LeRoy Schneck, who now served as company president and station General Manager. Dave Whipple assumed Schneck's programming duties. For many years, WRRN was a heritage beautiful music radio station as "Easy 92.3". Like many other such formatted radio stations, WRRN played 10-inch reel-to-reel music tapes from a dedicated automation playback system, with the occasional news brief from AP Network News and local news from WNAE's newsroom. While operating as an easy listening station, WRRN simulcast WNAE's morning show from 6 to 9 am Monday through Friday. Though music formats at times varied for WNAE over the years, music played during the simulcast was more soft rock oriented to better buffer the easy listening format once the simulcast had ended for the day. In 2002 the station changed its format to oldies, then transitioned to classic hits in August 2014. WRRN todayOn September 19, 2006, Kibco Radio sold WRRN and its two sister stations to Radio Partners, LLC, which owned WBVP and WMBA in Beaver Falls and Ambridge, Pennsylvania, respectively. Radio Partners LLC President Frank Iorio retained W. LeRoy Schneck as general manager for a period to assist with the transfer of ownership.
