programming consultant with McVay Media and long-time programming veteran with years in the Adult Contemporary radio format. Conley had a very successful tenure at WBEB B101 FM in Philadelphia. Recently, in addition to his programming duties at WLTW-FM, Conley has been overseeing programming at sister station WKTU The Beat Of New York. Morgan Prue, winner of several Music Director Of The Year Awards, stayed on as the station's Music Director and Assistant Program Director. Upon Prue's departure, to pursue a program directorship in Canada, Jill Kempton was named Assistant Program Director/Music Director. Kempton is now the program director of sister station WASH-FM in Washington DC. Cara Hahn has stepped into the Assistant Program Director role, which she also holds at New York sister station WHTZ. Lite FM has evolved into a more upbeat "Variety" station from its earlier "Soft Rock" approach with deejays talking over intros, keeping a non-stop music flow, and has added a jingle package for the first time in the history of the station. The station uses Reelworld One AC with its own logo. The station is also well known for having somewhat of a lean toward Rhythmic AC compared to most other AC stations owned by Clear Channel, possibly due to the younger-leaning audience in the NY market. In May 2011, WLTW returned to XM Satellite Radio, with a full-time simulcast on Channel 13. However, station owner Clear Channel sold off its ownership stake in Sirius XM Radio during the second quarter of fiscal year 2013. As a result of the sale, nine of Clear Channel's eleven XM stations, including the simulcast of WLTW, ceased broadcast over XM Satellite Radio on October 18, 2013. In 2018, WLTW and eight other iHeart-owned AC stations began carrying the syndicated weekend program Ellen K Weekend Show hosted by KOST 103.5 Los Angeles radio personality and former On Air with Ryan Seacrest co-host Ellen K.
