Back to February 14, 1971, WABC-FM New York were changed to WPLJ, which stood for 'White Port and Lemon Juice," an early 1950's R&B song by the Four Deuces, later covered by Frank Zappa.
WPLJ featured album-oriented rock (AOR) in the 1970's, which evolved into contemporary hit radio (CHR) by 1983. On December 17, 1987, calls were changed to WWPR ('World Wide Power Radio') and 95.5 became 'Power 95.' However, a year later, in December 21, 1988, calls were changed back to WPLJ and 'Power 95' was dropped. In 1989, WPLJ adopted the 'Mojo Radio' name and shifted to more of a Hot AC format.
Since 1991, the morning drive slot at WPLJ has been hosted by Scott Shannon and Todd Pettengill, and is known as the 'Scott and Todd Big Show'. It has about one million listeners per week
In January 1999, WPLJ abruptly moved to a Modern AC format, a variation of the Hot AC format. But, the Modern AC had peaked in 1997-98 and the station transitioned back to a Hot AC format, with its playlist consisting of songs from the 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s.
In April 2009, WPLJ adopted a new slogan, "Scott and Todd in the Morning and Today's Best Music." A new logo was introduced in July. After years of playing 1980's music, WPLJ dropped 80's music in January 2012, and shifted their playlist towards more 1990's, 2000's and current music.
