WWYC
WWYC is a radio station in Toledo, Ohio. It is now a repeater of KAWZ in Twin Falls, Idaho, the originator of a network of repeaters and mostly translators owned by CSN International (for: Calvary Satellite Network).
==History==
WWYC signed on in 1946 as WTOD under the ownership of local labor rights attorney Edward Lamb. The station was notable at its launch for having been among the fastest radio stations to sign-on after being awarded a construction permit. WTOD's initial staff was composed largely of veterans returning from World War II.〔"WTOD on air June 15, three months after CP." e''Broadcasting - Telecasting'', June 24, 1946, pg. 58. ()〕
Lamb sold WTOD in 1957 to Detroit-based Booth Broadcasting. Originally a station typical of the golden age of radio, it changed formats to Top 40 in 1959. This continued into 1969, when WTOD became Toledo's first country music station. Donn Williams, Mike Phillips, Bill Manders, Les Bortel, Earl Sharninghouse, Bill Halprin, were the first to play country music on WTOD. Joe Hill now of Tucson AZ was midday announcer in the summer of 1982 with decent ratings. However, in 1992, WTOD became a simulcast station of fellow country station WKKO. The call letters WTOD stood for "We're Top Of the Dial," which was WTOD's official slogan for many years (and a fact; as the frequency 1560 was, indeed, near the top of the AM dial until expanded to 1700 in the 1990s.) The station was more commonly known by fellow broadcasters as "We're Toledo's Only Daytimer-WTOD.
WWYC broadcasts on 1560 kHz from a tower adjacent to the Toledo-Cumulus-Cluster studios in South Toledo. While WWYC is licensed for 1,500 watts, the station has been run at reduced power (only 500 watts) for several years as the towers' ground radials suffered damage during building additions.
