WXTA (97.9 FM) is a commercial radio station in Summit Township, Erie County, Pennsylvania, broadcasting to the Erie, Pennsylvania, area owned by Cumulus Media. WXTA airs a country music format branded as "Erie Country 97.9". WXTA's studios are located at 471 Robison Rd W in Summit Township, while its transmitter is located near Oliver Rd and Golden Rd in that municipality.

History

Signing-on in October 1988 as WMYJ, the station operated with an Adult Contemporary format for a year as "Y-98".

WMYJ was purchased by Bob Winters (WinCapp Broadcasting) over the summer of 1989. The format switch to country happened at noon on September 11, 1989, and the station took the call sign WXTA.

WXTA was sold to Jim Embrescia's Media One Group in 1996, Regent Communications (now known today as Townsquare Media) in 1999, Citadel Broadcasting in 2004, and Cumulus Media in 2011.

Former air personalities at WXTA include "Uncle Fred" Horton, Bobby Reed, Ron Kline, Mike McKay, Natalie Massing, John Cunningham, "Big John" Jacobs, Ed Beeler, Bobbi Weston, Brian Williams, Rick Shigo, Chris Atkins, Dale Thompson, Chet Price, Bill Shannon, Laura Luke, Jim Mirabello, Adam Reese, John Gallagher, Tom Lavery, Sammy James, Jay Foyst, Herb Palmer, Dan "Shoeless" Sheldon, Ellie McVay, Truckin' Tom, Cindy Wear, Becca Lynn and the syndicated "Big D & Bubba."

Former syndicated programming on WXTA includes "After Midnite with Blair Garner", "Country Gold Saturday Night" and "Neon Nights with Lia".

Morning Personality "Uncle Fred" Horton died on March 4, 2008.

Current on-air personalities include Mike Sheffield, Jim Griffey, Nicole Dohoda and Chuck Stevens. Stevens is also the station's Program Director.

On-air features include Sheffield in the Morning (Mike Sheffield), Country Cartunes at 5, Kickin' it with Kix (Kix Brooks), and Retro Country.

On February 3, 2014, WXTA, along with nine other Cumulus-owned country music stations, made the switch to going under the Nash FM branding.[1]

On March 28, 2024, the station dropped the Nash FM branding, rebranding to Erie Country 97.9.[2]

Film genre The action film is a film genre that predominantly features chase sequences, fights, shootouts, explosions, and stunt work. The specifics of what constitutes an action film has been in scholarly debate since the 1980s. While some scholars such as David Bordwell suggested they were films that favor spectacle to storytelling, others such as Goeff King stated they allow the scenes of spectacle to be attuned to story telling. Action films are often hybrid with other genres, mixing into...
