WMJI (105.7 FM) is a commercial radio station licensed to Cleveland, Ohio, featuring a classic hits format dubbed "Majic 105.7".
The call letters were changed to WKYC-FM to match those of the AM station, which kept the popular "KY" slogan and identity Westinghouse brought into Cleveland.
[5][6] WKYC-FM played similar middle of the road (MOR) music to WKYC, but for part of the day, it used its own disc jockeys and had less chatter than the AM station.
NBC eventually sold off WKYC and WKYC-FM in 1972 to Ohio Communications, owned by Nick Mileti and Jim and Tom Embrescia.
In 1988, Jacor Communications entered a local marketing agreement (LMA) with Legacy Broadcasting, headed by former Malrite executive Carl Hirsch.
By September 1990, the station adjusted the format to oldies, featuring much of the music made famous by Top 40 legends WHK and WIXY.
Gorman also reunited with former WMMS artist and co-creator of the station's "Buzzard" mascot David Helton to create a new logo, featured on early print ads and billboards for WMJI.
WMJI was led by its highly rated morning show featuring Lanigan, Webster, and local comedian Jimmy Malone.
These stations included, at its height: WYNT in Marion, WIMJ in Findlay, WMJK in Sandusky, WZOM in Defiance (then also branded as "Majic 105.7"), WMKJ in Louisville and WKEQ in Somerset, Kentucky.
Early in November 2006, WTHZ-FM in Lexington, North Carolina, a station owned by "Davidson County Broadcasting", changed formats to "Majic 94.1" - replete with a similar logo to WMJI's.
[16] In August 1998, Nationwide Communications merged operations with Jacor, reuniting WMJI with its former owner (and also was paired up with WTAM again, bringing the two stations' original relationship full circle).
Denny Sanders departed WMJI in 2001 to join the management team at The Telos Alliance, a Cleveland-based international broadcast equipment design company.
