[edit] History
WDOH signed on the airwaves at 7PM in December of 1972 by Tri-County Broadcasting. Originally with a Country format, the station served the greater Delphos, Fort Jennings, Middle Point area with local news and sporting events.
In the mid nineties, Tri-County Broadcasting sold the FM outlet to Vogel Roach incorporated who tweaked the format to resemble more of a Classic Country format competing against Jacor's owned and operated WIMT in Lima.
In 2001 Vogel Roach purchased the stations first automation system which makes it one of the last operations in the United States to operate on a reel to reel format.
In 2005, Maverick Media of Lima who earlier that year purchased Country WFGF, Top 40 WZOQ, Classic Hits WUZZ and Urban WLJM purchased the country outlet and flipped it to an all christmas music station being the first in the area to do so. On December 26th, a new format was unveiled as the station took on a Soft Adult Contemporary format to protect new sister owned county WFGF.
[edit] Programming
WDOH is programmed by Dan Baisden who transferred from Artistic Media Partners of Lafayette where he most recently programmed heritage WAZY Top 40, WLFF County and WLAS Classic Country. Baisden has also programmed various contemporary formated stations in Huntington West Virginia, Mount Vernon Ohio and Sandusky Ohio.
WDOH also airs the 34 year running ALARM CLOCK SHOW. The show is hosted by local legend Bob Ulm who has been with the station since 1973 and Jeffery Wittler who joined the station in 1991. Bob is a well known connoisseur of radio in the area and active in local council meetings and school board functions.
WDOH began running the new SEVENTIES SUPER HIGHWAY at 5PM which is an all 70's request zone for the local commute. The idea was implimented at Baisdens other stations in Sandusky and Mount Vernon where it gained major success.
WDOH is also the home for Delphos High School sports. It also partners with sister WLJM for sports programming at night.
