589. Everything you wanted to know about WTUE, but were afraid to ask:
WTUE (104.7 FM) is a classic rock formatted radio station with studios in Dayton, Ohio. Its transmitter is located in Moraine, Ohio and can be heard clearly throughout Southwest Ohio.
Briefly known as WIFE-FM, WTUE's beginnings was that of WONE-FM simulcasting sister station WONE-AM which had a Top 40 format until 1967. WONE-FM played Top 40 hits without live personalities when WONE-AM switched to country in 1969. In 1971, the FCC granted permission to boost its power to 50,000 watts and monaural WONE-FM transformed to FM-stereo, and briefly quadraphonic, "the all new W-2". In 1974, WTUE was "The Super Ten Four!" with morning personality Al Morgan. Morgan eventually moved to KHJ in Los Angeles. The station was playing Top 40 hits with live DJs until 1976 when it switched to the new and innovative album oriented rock format under the direction of Program Director Chuck Browning and using the branding "T-105", competing with University of Dayton owned WVUD-FM. WTUE dropped "T-105" in 1979 and in the 1980s it ultimately won out in the ratings battle. Mike McConnell formerly of WLW-AM Cincinnati and currently of WGN-AM, Chicago, also served as WTUE's Program Director in the early 80's following Chuck Browning.
Sports personality and University of Dayton graduate Dan Patrickwas half of the morning team on WTUE in the late-1970s/early-1980s under his given name, Dan Pugh. Dan was partnered as morning host with several other DJ's over the years including Shaun Scott, Dave Luczak, Major Dick Hale and Jeff Curry. WTUE was awarded Billboard Magazine's coveted "Station Of The Year" in the album-oriented rock format for medium-sized markets in 1983 under Program Director Bill Pugh (Dan Pugh's brother) and again in 1985 under Tom Carroll who served as Program Director from 1984-1997.
