WTAK-FM (106.1 MHz) is a classic rock-formatted radio station licensed to Hartselle, Alabama, and owned by San Antonio
In the 2000s, WTAK-FM was one of the top-rated radio stations in the Huntsville market.[2]
The on-air staff currently consists of "Deano," Johnny Maze, and "BigRig," who appear each weekday. The station's morning show is the syndicated The John Boy and Billy Big Show, heard weekday mornings from 5 to 9 a.m.[3]
In addition to its regular music programming, WTAK-FM also carries The House of Hair with Dee Snider on Saturday nights from 9 p.m. to 12 a.m. On Sunday mornings from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m., Flashback, hosted by Matt Pinfield, airs.
WTAK-FM was originally known by the call sign WYAM and went on the air around November 1991. WTAK-AM (1000 AM, now WDJL) shifted its programming solely to the 106.1 FM signal in late 1993 after several months of simulcast. This station was assigned the WTAK-FM call letters by the Federal Communications Commission on July 6, 1993.[4]
