History

Prior to Radio Disney, the station's previous formats included classical music, ethnic programming, oldies, and religious programming.

The station's previous and long-held call letters were WARO; it had originally debuted as WCNG. 540 was also known as "Radio One" during its days as WARO.

Following ABC's LMA of WWCS from owner Birach Broadcasting, operations for the station moved from its transmitter building in Canonsburg to 400 Ardmore Boulevard in Wilkinsburg, the home of WEAE (ESPN Radio 1250) and WTAE-TV.
