OHIO VALLEY — A familiar radio station has disappeared from the local airwaves.
92.1 The Pickle, known for its classic hits format and decades of service to listeners across portions of western Pennsylvania and the Ohio Valley, is no longer operating under its longtime branding following a recent ownership change.
The station, licensed to Ellwood City, Pennsylvania, was previously sold by Forever Media to Family Life, a Christian broadcasting organization. Industry reports earlier this year announced the pending sale, and local listeners have since reported that the station’s classic hits format has been replaced.
For many listeners, The Pickle was a longtime source for music from the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s. Its departure marks the end of a familiar radio brand that served the region for years.
Fans of classic hits music can still find many of their favorite songs locally on 100.5 WOMP FM and 103.9 WOHI FM.
River News is working to confirm additional details regarding the station’s current format and ownership transition.
