WLTJ (92.9 FM, "Q92.9") is a commercial radio station in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. It is owned by the Frischling family[1] through licensee WPNT Media Subsidiary, LLC, and broadcasts a hot adult contemporary radio format.

Their studios are located in Pittsburgh's North Hills suburbs at 5000 McKnight Road. The transmitter is located in the Summer Hill neighborhood of Pittsburgh at (40°29′43.0″N 80°00′16.0″W / 40.495278°N 80.004444°W / 40.495278; -80.004444).[2] The tower is co-located with WPGH-TV and WPNT.[3]

WLTJ is a grandfathered "superpower" station. While the station's effective radiated power (ERP) is within the maximum limit allowed for a Class B FM station, its antenna height above average terrain (HAAT) is too tall for its ERP according to current FCC rules.[4][5]

WLTJ broadcasts using HD Radio technology. It offers three additional digital subchannels as well as its main analogue programming.[6]
