WTAM, News radio station in Cleveland, United States
WTAM is a news radio station broadcasting from its facilities in Brecksville on the 1100 AM frequency. The station transmits at 50,000 watts, allowing it to reach audiences across multiple states, and offers programming through an FM translator at 106.9 in the Cleveland area.
The station began broadcasting in September 1923 under the Willard Storage Battery Company and became the first to cover the 1924 Republican National Convention. This early commitment to news coverage established its foundation as a regional information source.
The station's morning program focuses on what matters to the local community, with hosts discussing regional topics and bringing in voices from around Cleveland. This creates a daily connection between the broadcaster and its listeners who share common interests and concerns.
Listeners can tune in on standard AM radios at 1100 or access the FM translator at 106.9 in the Cleveland area. Both options provide easy access to news and local updates throughout the day.
The station's call letters were temporarily exchanged with a Philadelphia station before returning to WTAM in 1996. This unusual swap shows how the radio industry sometimes reshuffled identities during periods of ownership changes and rebranding.
