radio station in Greensburg, Pennsylvania
WHJB (107.1 MHz) is a classic hits radio station licensed to Greensburg, Pennsylvania, and serving the Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania area. The station is owned by Renda Media.
WHJB's transmitter is located in Unity Township, Pennsylvania, and broadcasts with an ERP of 2.3 kW.
History
The station began as WHJB-FM in 1968, sister station to then-WHJB (now WKHB), then became WOKU-FM, before becoming WSSZ-FM in the late 1980s. In 1996, the station became a simulcast of WAMO-FM to cover the eastern part of the metro Pittsburgh market. The simulcast was initiated as part of a sale of the FM station to Sheridan Broadcasting that year.
In 2003, WSSZ became a simulcast of WAMO after the 106.7 signal moved its tower and improved its coverage of Pittsburgh. WSSZ, in turn, moved its tower further away from Pittsburgh to accommodate WAMO-FM's move.
In 2004, 107.1 acquired the WJJJ calls, and changed its name to "Majic 107.1," but the programming remained the same.
On January 30, 2006, Sheridan sold 107.1 to The St. Pier Group LLC (Renda Broadcasting), which changed the format to Variety Hits, using Westwood One's "SAM" satellite-delivered format and taking the call letters WGSM. The satellite format was eventually dropped.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “WHJB” as radio station in Greensburg, Pennsylvania. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the places & architecture register because the source frames it as radio station in Greensburg, Pennsylvania. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
The strongest evidence will usually combine a dated visual record with documents produced by the authority responsible for the place. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 25, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q7950221. Authority coordinates are 40.265, -79.340. 3 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 1 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1968, 1996, 2003 and 2004.
Modern boundaries and familiar names can conceal earlier jurisdictions or structures that do not align with the present site. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
