Country singer/songwriter Pat Garrett is set to purchase Harrisburg’s classic rock FM, WTPA, 92.1, from Potential Broadcasting LLC, Trustee.
Pat is best known for his many country songs, including “In the Blue Mountains,” as owner of “The Pat Garrett Amphitheater,” owner of country radio station WWSM, and helping country superstar Taylor Swift get her start.
Garrett, whose real name is Patrick Sickafus, heard the station had been placed in the trust as a settlement with the Department of Justice and that one of the terms of the settlement called for the divestiture of both WTPA and WCAT.
Garrett says he will be keeping the rock format.
"The Rock of Central PA", which covers Harrisburg, Hershey, Lebanon, Lancaster, and York as well as Millersburg and Elizabethville to the north and beyond, also streams online worldwide at www.921wtpa.com.
WTPA is Central Pennsylvania's only remaining independent rock station.
Garrett also owns Classic Country AM-1510, WWSM which covers Central Pennsylvania. The WWSM studios are located north of Palmyra, which, coincidentally, was the home of 92.1 when Hugh Clinton was the owner.
Garrett is from Berks County, where the Pat Garrett Amphitheater is located.
