WTDA is an FM radio station in Westerville, Ohio at 103.9 MHz. It currently broadcasts a talk radio format and is the Central Ohio radio broadcast home of the Pittsburgh Steelers.

The station broadcast classic rock music as WEGE "Eagle 103.9" prior to becoming WTDA "Ted FM" in 2004, when it started playing a mix of Top-40-based hits, ranging from the '60s through current popular hit music. With the Ted FM format, WTDA used the slogan "We Play Anything." The station's current call letters attempt to incorporate this "Ted FM" branding. In September 2005, the station's owners added the Bob & Tom show, which had been dropped by Clear Channel's WBWR [http://www.varietyhits.com/variety/markets/columbusoh.shtml]

On January 8, 2007, WTDA rebranded itself as the first and only FM talk station in Columbus, picking up the Glenn Beck radio show after the program was dropped from rival station WTVN. [http://ohiomedia.blogspot.com/2007_01_01_archive.html]
