Pittsburgh Radio Station Changes Hands

PITTSBURGH, PA — One of the nation's largest radio ownership groups has acquired the city's only urban station. Audacy, which owns a number of other Pittsburgh stations, announced Tuesday it is acquiring WAMO-FM effective April 4.

“There are very few brands that have been as influential in the city of Pittsburgh as WAMO and I cannot express our level of excitement to welcome such a great radio station and the terrific staff to the Audacy Pittsburgh family,” Michael Spacciapolli, Audacy Pittsburgh's senior vice president and marketing manager, said in a statement.

“We will bring scale and leadership in the urban format, while continuing WAMO’s mission of celebrating cultural diversity and commitment to promoting quality diverse music, community support, fan engagement, and local and national news.”

WAMO will remain on 107.3 FM.

Philadelphia-based Audacy's other Pittsburgh stations include 93.7 The Fan, KDKA-AM, Y-108, and 100.7 Star.
