This Just In

(News)

Mon Valley native Terry Lee Trunzo returns to Pittsburgh radio at a sister station of the McKeesport-based frequency that made him famous.

Trunzo announced Saturday that he has signed a deal to do a Sunday night oldies show at WJAS (1320), beginning this weekend.

The show will air from 8 p.m. to midnight.

"I will be recreating the shows that I did in the '60s and '70s, with the last hour or so being 'Music for Young Lovers,'" Trunzo says. "Hopefully, I'll be expanding the show to 6 to midnight soon, and will do 'Music for Young Lovers' for the last two hours.

"Everyone has been commenting how much they miss the music I used to play, and they can't find it on the radio anymore," he says. "I'm looking forward to presenting the TL Sound again over nighttime Pittsburgh."

WJAS is owned by Renda Broadcasting, which also owns McKeesport-licensed WMNY (1360). The station, which now broadcasts a "business talk" format, was known as WMCK and WIXZ when Trunzo worked there from the 1960s through the early '80s.

Trunzo has also been heard recently on Scottdale-licensed WLSW-FM (103.9), where recordings of his syndicated oldies show from the 1990s have been broadcast.

The move to WJAS comes on the heels of a standing-room-only dance featuring Trunzo at the Palisades ballroom, Downtown, on Feb. 13.

It also returns an oldies show to WJAS for the first time since station management released former host Doug Hoerth on December 2007.

Now living in Ohio, Trunzo has slated two additional Mon Valley area dances for May --- one in Scottdale on May 1 and another at the Palisades on May 15.

This is great news for all of us “boomers” who grew up in the Mon-Yough valley. Most of us enjoyed the TL Sound and we look forward to hearing it again!
