WDMN

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

WDMN radio station serves Toledo, Ohio. It is a Christian and Gospel formatted radio station. Its FM sister station WXQQ. Both facilities are owned and operated by Cornerstone Church in Maumee, Ohio.

1520 KHz in Toledo, Ohio has a long and storied past. In the late 60s, 1520 was known as WTTO - a Top40 station to compete with WOHO and CKLW. Later incarnations included: an all news radio format, an urban music format (with the callsign WVOI) and a religious format that featured a daily "Radio Rosary". Another callsign change came along, then later the calls were changed to the current WDMN with the Cornerstone Church ownership.

The station was unique for many years as it had two different transmitter and tower sites, located in two different states! Daytime broadcasts were from the transmitter and towers located on Jackman Road in Bedford, Michigan, and nighttime broadcasts were from a straight row of 6 towers (parallel to I-75 near the Ohio Turnpike) in Perrysburg Township, Ohio. The current site is also in Perrysburg Township, but Southeast of the original decaying tower array.
