WGTZ
WGTZ is a commercial FM station licensed in Eaton, Ohio at 92.9 MHz serving the Dayton and Springfield market area with an adult contemporary format, branded as "Soft Rock 92.9." It is currently owned by Portland, Oregon-based Alpha Media. Its studios are located in Kettering, Ohio (with a Dayton address) and its transmitter is in Brookville, Ohio. ==Early history== WGTZ was founded in 1959 by WCTM co-founder Stanley Coning and three other business partners (dba:Western Ohio Broadcasting Service Inc.) and took to the air in November 1960. WCTM-FM aired mostly beautiful music, but was essentially a middle of the road format in the beginning. Its original FM tower still stands today on North Barron Street in downtown Eaton near the Norfolk Southern Railway crossing with the original call letters still intact. In the 1960s, Coning was locked out of the station in an attempt by his partners to take over the operation, but were taken to court. Coning won and became the sole owner. He originally wanted an AM station first, but was unable to obtain a license at the time, so he went for the FM license. A serious heart attack in the early 1970s forced him to put the station up for sale while at the same time, Great Trails was looking to acquire an FM station as a sister for its Dayton AM station WING when no more commercial FM frequencies in Dayton were available. WCTM-FM was the logical choice. Coning sold the station and eventually was granted an AM frequency several years after his health improved. WCTM-AM was on the air from 1981 until 2004, when he retired and sold the station due to failing health and age. That station is now WEDI simulcasting WBZI(AM) in Xenia with a classic country format.
