Here’s a nice ad announcing the arrival of local country radio station WOBL that ran in the Journal back on January 18, 1972. The station had first gone on the air the month before.
As explained on the radio station’s website,”WOBL first began broadcasting on Christmas Eve of 1971 when Harry Wilber broadcast his first words and played the first record.
"WOBL Radio was first heard on AM 1570 and then moved to 1320 AM in September of 1976. Most recently it began simulcasting on 107.7 FM. From day one, WOBL 1320 AM / 107.7 FM has kept its finger on the pulse of the community it serves.
"50 years later, WOBL Radio remains one of the longest running country music stations in Ohio. The station currently broadcasts under the "Gold Country" banner staying loyal to the genre’s roots with a classic country format.”
