WLTI was a radio station licensed toNew Castle, Indiana which served the Henry County, Indiana, radio market. It was aReal Country affiliate, which is a 24/7 format distributed byCumulus Media Networks, a subsidiary of WLTI's owner,Cumulus Media. This station operated at a power of 250 watts on AM frequency 1550 kHz. During the day, WLTI broadcast with an omnidirectional pattern; at night, it broadcast with a directional signal to the southeast and southwest, to protectClass-A clear-channel stationsCBEF inWindsor, Ontario andXERUV-AM inXalapa, Mexico.
Originally known for many years as WCTW airing traditionalmiddle of the road programming, the station changed call letters to WMDH in 1991 to match up with its FM sister station. For many years, WMDH featured anews/talk format followed by a long stint asadult standards with programming supplied by theMusic of Your Life 24/7 satellite format and later with Citadel Media'sTimeless Classics.
In early 2010 Timeless ceased operations, forcing WMDH to change format. In early 2010, WMDH flipped to a gold-heavy country format to complement its sister station,WMDH-FM, utilizing Citadel Media's Real Country format. In 2010,Citadel Broadcasting opted to retain the call letters ofa station that changed format inSyracuse, New York, to keep for future use. As the FCC does not allow stations to retain call letters that are not on a station's license, Citadel decided to 'park' them temporarily on WMDH. As a result, on March 19, 2010, 1550 AM became WLTI. The existing classic country format remained in place. Citadel merged with Cumulus Media on September 16, 2011.[3]
TheWCTW call letters are now used at an FM station inHudson, New York. The WMDH-FM call letters continue to be used on WLTI's sister station in New Castle.
WLTI shut down on March 31, 2024.[4] TheFederal Communications Commission cancelled the station’s license on April 26, 2024.[5]
