TODAY’S TRADEMARK – WHIO

WHIO is a commercial talk radio station licensed to serve Dayton, Ohio and covering the Dayton metropolitan area. Owned by Cox Media Group, the WHIO studios are located at the Cox Media Centre building in Dayton, while the transmitter is located in nearby Kettering. In addition to a standard analog transmission, WHIO is simulcast full-time on WHIO-FM (95.7) and is available online. WHIO was Cox Radio’s first station started by company founder Ohio Governor James M. Cox in the Dayton Daily News building downtown, on Ludlow Street. It signed on the air on February 9, 1935. To create a new radio service in Dayton, Cox had to purchase WLBW in Oil City, Pennsylvania, from the Petroleum Telephone Company.  Cox shut down that operation and moved the radio station to Dayton. WHIO-FM personality Larry Hansgen hosts the morning-drive program, Miami Valley’s Morning News. Brian Kilmeade’s late-morning program, produced by Fox News Talk and distributed by Westwood One, airs in late mornings.
