The ELM - 1620 AM

CALL-IN LINE: (412) 947-1620
Please note: All calls are recorded and may be broadcast.

Somewhere beyond the power lines, maybe deep in the Nature Center, or beneath the Green Tree Water Tower - The Elm transmits 24/7 on AM band 1620 kHz. Just one transmitter, a turntable, and a voice reaching out to whoever might be listening.

We don’t officially confirm this broadcast exists. But if your AM dial lands just right, here’s what you might hear:

The Chubby Willems Oldies Show

You’ll know it’s Chubby when the hum in the dial gets warm.

Every weekend, like clockwork, Chubby Willems takes the booth, drops the needle, and vanishes behind four solid hours of choked with smoke GOLD from a jukebox that doesn’t seem to exist.

These records were meant to be forgotten.

Buried in basements, erased from memory, lost in time.

But somehow... Chubby is spinning them.

This is Chubby Willems... rumored to be broadcasting from the underground bunker beneath the Green Tree Water Tower. If the signal reaches you, you weren't meant to hear it. Shhhh.

Sunday 8–10 A.M.

Polka Transmission 

At the edge of the morning, the signal changes.

Polka Transmission comes through.

It’s a tradition older than Parkway traffic - Sunday mornings and polka music, rolling out from radios and open windows across Pittsburgh neighborhoods.

We're keeping it alive here in Green Tree every Sunday.
