WTDA is an FM radio station in Westerville, Ohio at 103.9 MHz. It currently broadcasts a talk radio format including The Glenn Beck Program, The Dennis Miller Show, The Bob & Tom Show, and Fox Sports Radio. Until January 8, 2007 the station played a mix of Top-40-based hits, ranging from the '60s through current popular hit music, as "103.9 Ted FM". With this format, it used the slogan "We Play Anything." The station's current call letters attempt to incorporate this "Ted FM" branding.
From the mid '70s until February 21, 1990, the frequency was home to central Ohio's original Jazz station, WBBY-FM, until the owners of that station lost their FCC license. The frequency was unoccupied for years while several parties competed for an authorization to use the vacant channel.
The current station, then known as WEGE, went on the air in September 1998 and is locally-owned by Columbus-based North American Broadcasting, Inc.. The station broadcast classic rock as WEGE "Eagle 103.9" before becoming WTDA "Ted FM" in 2004. When Glenn Beck was dropped from WTVN in early 2007, the station picked up the show and rebranded itself as the first and only FM talk station in Columbus. The station added The Dr. Laura Program in Februrary 2007, but dropped her only one month later. The Dennis Miller Show was added to fill Dr. Laura's old spot in March.
