I mentioned WJYM in the other Swaggart thread. When he took it over in 1978 or so it sounded like a station south of the Mason-Dixon line, not Toledo, though it had some local elements. Now, just the Sonlife radio-TV simulcast without a person in sight

I believe he got the WMGS license in 1975, not '78, as the high bidder to the bankruptcy court over the Rev. H Max Good's financial shenanigans. I was there at that time. Really thought that frequency has potential, being smack dab between powerhouses WLW and WJR. But with a signal that skips over most of Toledo, 12 miles away.

You were there to know, a friend of a friend worked there in the late 70s. My Dad listened to the country version of WMGS in West Central Ohio. That "bowling pin" pattern was and is something else.
