WRTT (95.1 FM) is a modern rock music-formatted radio station serving the Huntsville, Alabama, market. The station began in 2000 on the former frequency of an all-Christian station, WNDA. WRTT is co-owned with two other Huntsville stations, WAHR-FM and WLOR-AM.

Unlike competitor WTAK, which programs a so-called "classic rock" (oldies) format, WRTT focuses on releases since 1990, supporting various subgenres such as heavy metal, grunge rock, and the like. WRTT is an affiliate of the Tennessee Titans radio network.[1]

History

The 95.1 frequency was home to the first FM radio station in Huntsville as WHBS-FM in the late 1940s. It was mainly a simulcast of WHBS (1490 AM) which was owned by The Huntsville Times. Later WHBS moved to 1550 AM and increased power to 5,000 Watts. The AM station was sold Smith Broadcasting and became WAAY radio around 1961. (This station would later became WAAJ then WLOR.) WNDA-FM moved from 92.9 FM to 95.1 after WHBS-FM ceased operations around 1960.
