WLTC (103.7 Lite FM) is a radio station that is licensed in Cusseta, Georgia and serves the city of Columbus, Georgia and its metro area.[2] It broadcasts an adult contemporary format, switching to Christmas music for much of November and December.[3]
The station broadcasts with a power of 8,800 watts of Effective radiated power (ERP). This makes it a class C3 station. It is owned by PMP Broadcasting and its transmitter is located off Buena Vista Road. [4]
History
[edit]The station first signed on June 3, 2008, according to their public file. [5] Their original call sign was WBOJ, which they used until 2009.
Each year in early November, WLTC flips to an all-Christmas music format. In 2019, the station was the first station (not counting those stunting) to flip to Christmas music for the season, doing so at roughly the same time as 2018's first-in-the-nation flip, WTRV in Grand Rapids, Michigan.[6]
