Yes, definitely a lot, although #1 and the first #2 are really part of the same transition.

WLZT is now WODC

So does this mean that when 93.3 refers to how "someone took your oldies station away," they think most people will think of WODB? I guess more likely ODC just represents "Oldies Columbus."

Except they are quite a few years late.

Radio-locator.com shows WODC 93.3 as a Christian Contemporary station on the air as "Your Lighthouse"

FWIW, Radio One's corporate website doesn't yet reflect any of the changes in format or calls. But I get the impression it's pretty common for even the largest owners to have long-outdated station info on their corporate sites.

Gee, I miss the WLZT calls already. :'(

One moment please....

OK, I'm over it. ;D ;D ;D

I hope the loss of the WLZT calls letters didn't cause you too much pain and suffering.

shhh you'll upset those who are happy that WLZ err WODC is no longer Soft AC... maybe this is the next format for WODC after "Christmas" ... Heck the lead in for it .. could be "93.3 Your Christmas music station.. We put CHRIST back in Christmas"
