Mystery Station from the 70's
Erie-Meadville: I received an e-mail from a reader who was curious about an FM station in Meadville. He said that the station was an AOR / Progressive type of station that was on in the early to mid '70's. I told him that people used to tell me about the former WMDI from McKean, but nobody ever told me about a similar type of station in Meadville. If anyone recalls the station, call letters & frequency feel free to drop us a line here.Readers’ Forum
The reference could be to WPIC-FM out of Sharon (now WYFM) that did a progressive AOR format for a short time before Y 103 was launched. There was also rock on the Linesville FM owned by the Cervi’s for awhile.

How about WARC, Allegheny College? I was the Mgr of the station in 1972-1974. 90.3FM. We were “free form”. It’s still there.
Also, WVCC Linesville used to sporadically run “progressive” at night.

It was WMDI, out of McKean, and it preceded WSEG, which eventually became WJET-FM. It was underground and trust me, like most AOR then and now, greatly overrated.
