I worked for Merv Griffin Radio's Magic104/WIOF in the late '70's - early '80's. On the top of Route 69, it was also known as "Magic Mountain". There were issues with flooding in the back of the bldg., also a tree in front of the microwave dish. Otherwise, good times!

I'm not 100% sure, but I think it's now home to WJMJ, 88.9

WJMJ's studios are at the old WTXX tower site on the hill in Prospect. Last I heard the Prospect building that formally housed WIOF was still owned by iHeart but that was a few years ago.
