We have terrestrial radio to thank for inventing classic rock. Conceived as a programming format, it emerged in the ’80s when stations around the U.S. began devoting heavy airtime to a mix of beloved titans from the ’60s and ’70s (The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Bob Seger) and then-current hitmakers (Tom Petty, John Mellencamp) whose music contains heavy echoes of the vintage stuff. Even when classic rock opens its ranks to ’90s alt-rockers such as Soundgarden, it’s because they sound old-school. In terms of stylistic variety, the format boasts considerable leg room. Classic rock rotation can and does include soaring ballads from Pink Floyd, The Beatles, and Elton John, and even the occasional glam nugget from David Bowie. Yet at the end of the day, the format definitely relies heaviest on thunderous hard-rock anthems perfect for Friday night parties or powering you through your workday.

Launched on June the 22nd of 1989 at 12:00pm WRKT blast off as "RockRadio! Erie's New Rocket 101 FM!!" at 100.9 MHz, and for 28 years before moving down the dial to 104.9 MHz and rebranding themselves as "Erie's All New Rocket 105 FM!" On October 20th, 2017 at 12:00pm EDT their last song as Rocket 101 was "Free Bird" by Lynyrd Skynyrd before moving frequencies to 104.9. Their first song as Rocket 105 was "For Those About to Rock (We Salute You)" by AC/DC. The 100.9 frequency was to be reallocated to Westfield, New York and sold at auction. Rick Rambaldo, owner of WEHP, won the bid but was late in getting his down payment sent to the FCC, leading to his bid being rejected. The frequency again went up for auction in April 2020 (later delayed to July 2021). Rambaldo held an agreement to restore the oldies format that had previously been on AM 1530 until 2017 had he won the auction. Rambaldo sold WEHP in 2019 but re-entered the 2021 auction, winning the bidding for the 100.9 license.
