WTLA (1200 AM; "ESPN Radio 97.7") is a radio station broadcasting a sports format. Licensed to North Syracuse, New York, USA, the station serves the Syracuse area. The station is currently owned by Galaxy Communications and features programming from ESPN Radio, Syracuse ISP Sports Network and the Boston Red Sox Radio Network.[1]

History

The station went on the air August 1, 1959[2] as WSOQ, operating on 1220 AM.[3] The station later used the call signs WEZG, WURS, and WXRA.

In 1991, the station moved to its current frequency; it had attempted to do so since 1980.[4][5][6] A few months later, the station was renamed WNSS; it then became WKRL in 1993, and WTLA in 1995.[7]

Until March 5, 2010, WTLA offered an adult standards format from Music of Your Life; on that date, it affiliated with ESPN Radio.[8] A local afternoon show, "Disturbing The Peace" was added in May 2010, talking all things Syracuse and New York sports. In January 2011, programs hosted by Mike Bristol (who had previously aired on WHEN) were picked up by WTLA.
