The format changed to adult contemporary in 1968, when it was called "Charisma Radio" and "The Good Life in Dayton".

(One year beforehand, Group One obtained permission to place the WONE call sign on WAKR's FM sister station in Akron.)

WONE's ownership passed to Stoner Broadcasting on December 9, 1992, to American Radio Systems on September 13, 1993, and to Jacor Communications on October 17, 1997.

The weekday programming lineup for most of the country years started with David G. McFarland in the morning drive time period, followed by Jim Howell in late mornings, John Ross in early afternoons, and Terry Wood (program director) in afternoon drive.

This simulcast with WCKY would eventually be severed in 2007, when WONE would start to air local sports talk in the afternoon, as well as clearing Fox Sports Radio in the morning hours (which eventually led to a clearance of Dayton native Dan Patrick's late morning show.)
