WBNS-FM (97.1 FM, 97.1 The Fan) is a radio station in Columbus, Ohio airing a sports radio format. The station is locally-owned by the Dispatch Broadcast Group, a subsidiary of ''The Columbus Dispatch'', along with WBNS (1460 AM) and WBNS-TV (channel 10). WBNS-FM's studios, offices and transmitter are located west of Downtown Columbus, near the confluence of the Olentangy and Scioto rivers. WBNS-FM features a combination of local programming and ESPN Radio programming. Along with sister station WBNS (AM), it is the FM flagship of the Ohio State IMG Sports Network,〔(OSU Radio Network - Ohio State Buckeyes.com )〕 the exclusive flagship for the NHL's Columbus Blue Jackets,〔(Blue Jackets Radio Network - Blue Jackets.com )〕 and the Columbus affiliate for the NFL on Westwood One. ==History== WBNS-AM experimented with FM as early as 1940 with station W8XVH, which became W45CM and later WELD, but took the station off the air in the early 1950s. The modern day station debuted as WBNS-FM in 1957, and in 1970 began airing a music format. In 1979, an Easy Listening music format was adopted. In 1991 the station moved from Easy Listening, to Oldies, and the station became "Oldies B-97.1". Almost ten years later, WBNS-FM moved to Modern AC as "The New 97.1", with a mix of pop alternative music. Eventually, the station evolved with a Hot AC format as "97.1-More Music, More Variety." In August, 2005, the station adopted the Hot AC-friendly "Mix" name and became "Mix 97.1-80s, 90s, Now." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「WBNS-FM」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
