WIOT

WIOT (104.7 FM) is a commercial radio station licensed to Toledo, Ohio, and features a mainstream rock format.

Owned by iHeartMedia, Inc., WIOT serves both Northwest Ohio and Monroe County, Michigan, as an affiliate of The Bob & Tom Show and The House of Hair with Dee Snider.

When network programming shifted from radio to television, WTOL-AM-FM began airing a full service, middle of the road format of popular music, news and sports.

As a beautiful music station, WTOL-FM played quarter hour sweeps of mostly soft instrumental cover versions of popular hits.

Newly appointed operations manager Chuck Schmidt was trying to derive the call letters from its dial position, with 1=I 0=O and 7=T.

Other WIOT disc jockeys during the '80s were Terry Sullivan, one half of the Sullivan and O'Connor show, Lee Randall, Joanie Major, Johnny Ballantine, Mohammed, "Larry Wyatt"-Larry Weseman, Donald "Don" Jardine, and WIOT's first male and female morning duo Pat & Jane (Patrick Still and Janet Perry).

Young, Don Davis, Dave Duran, Rebecca "Becky" Shock, Dennis O'Brian, with Beth Daniels, and the one and only Will Worster.

In the 1990s, the DJ staff included Susan Gates, Troy Michaels, and Grizzly Brown, while Darrin Arrens was the Program Director.

Longtime WIOT DJ Don Davis left the station in 2001 and was replaced by Dave Rossi as PD from WAVF (Wave-FM) in Charleston, South Carolina.

At 50,000 watts on a tower 541 feet (165 meters) in height above average terrain (HAAT), WIOT is slightly overpowered.

During 2011, WIOT was also experiencing interference from FM translator W284BQ in Detroit, which was simulcasting WGPR's The Oasis Smooth Jazz subchannel.
