WTUE's beginnings was that of WONE-FM simulcasting WONE-AM which had a Top 40 format until 1967. WONE-FM continued to play Top 40 hits without live personalities when WONE-AM switched to country in 1969 as "country-wide W-1" to remain synonymous with its then-owner Group One Broadcasting based in Akron. In 1972 monaural WONE-FM transformed to FM-stereo(and briefly quadraphonic) WTUE "the all new W-2" using a contemporary jingle package called "Solid Rock" produced by PAMS Productions and still playing Top 40 hits with live DJs until 1976 when it switched to album oriented rock using the branding "T-105" competing with University of Dayton-owned WVUD-FM. WTUE dropped the T-105 nickname in 1979 and in the 1980s it ultimately won out in the ratings battle.
Sports personality Dan Patrick was a disc jockey for WTUE in the late-1970s/early-1980s under his given name, Dan Pugh.
