Bob-FM plays over 1,000 song titles in a week! The average Pittsburgher listens to between 4 and 5 radio stations, proving they crave variety. That is why Bob-FM is consistently ranked as one of the top stations in Pittsburgh. Bob satisfies that craving for variety.

Q 92.9 FM

In March 2008, Pittsburgh was introduced to the new Q92.9 FM. It is simply a newer, fresher, better approach to playing a great music mix. Unlike most stations in the market, who rely on corporate playlists handed down from distant cities, Q92.9 is locally owned and operated and features a staff born and raised in Pittsburgh. We are uniquely able to reflect the musical lifestyle tastes of Pittsburghers.
