WIOT is a FM radio station in Toledo, Ohio. Owned by Clear Channel Communications, the station broadcasts at 104.7 MHz.

WIOT has been Toledo's rock station since 1972. Before that it was classical and office sort of "background" music format station. The call letters were in the past WTOL-FM and WCWA-FM. During the mornings, the station airs the syndicated morning show, Bob and Tom Show.

WIOT's studios are located in the Fort Industry Square building on Summit Street in downtown Toledo. Its offices are at Superior and Lafayette in Toledo. The station's transmitter is located at North Wynn and Cedar Point Roads in Oregon, OH. Before that the studios were in the Newsbee Building and the transmitter was on WTOL-TV's tower.

[edit] Broadcast area

The station serves Toledo and northwest Ohio, but its signal also reaches downtown Detroit, the southern and western suburbs (the latter due to the hills) as well as most of Essex County, Ontario, including Windsor, Ontario and Leamington, Ontario. Under exceptionally good conditions (such as fog), the station's signal can reach Chatham, Ontario, before it starts to interfere with Woodstock, Ontario's CIHR-FM, which is also on 104.7 FM. The station also experiences regular interference from Cleveland, Ohio's WKKY, which is also on 104.7 near the Wheatley, Ontario and Comber, Ontario areas (mostly in the southeastern corner of Essex County).
