Pittsburgh talk radio station KDKA is adding an FM signal at 100.1, as they Entercom celebrate 100 years of service to the steel city. The signal goes live on November 2.
“KDKA Radio is part of the radio history books not just here in Pittsburgh, but on a national level,” said Michael Spacciapolli, Entercom Pittsburgh Senior Vice President and Market Manager. “What started back in 1920 as an opportunity to instantaneously provide news and information about the presidential election returns has blossomed into a key part of our listeners’ lives. After serving Pittsburghers on our AM dial for the last 100 years, we are thrilled to expand the reach of historic KDKA on FM. It’s an honor to be part of the team carrying the torch from those before us into the next 100 years.”
KDKA was awarded the first commercial radio station license by the Department of Commerce. The station was born on November 2, 1920, and its first broadcast was election results between Warren G. Harding and James Cox.
Wednesdays throughout the year are used to re-live memorable moments of the station’s 100 years, along with special weekly programming.
