WOKL "K-LOVE" is an FM station operating at 96.9 mHz licensed to Troy, Ohio. It is a repeater of KLOV 89.3 FM in Winchester, Oregon (its originating station) airing Contemporary Christian Music for Dayton, its northern suburbs and the Upper Miami Valley region of Miami, Clark, Shelby, Champaign, Darke and surrounding counties in West Central Ohio. Its local offices are located on south Main in Dayton.

History

Originally WTRJ which first signed-on with Satellite Music Network programming in the summer of 1991, then later switching from Adult Contemporary to gospel music. It was purchased in 1996 by Dayton-based Hawes-Saunders Broadcasting becoming WRNB which continued satellite programming services using ABC Radio's "Solid Gold Soul" format as a sister to WROU "U-92" licensed to West Carrollton. WRNB also aired the Tom Joyner Morning Show from ABC Radio. Financial difficulties forced Hawes-Saunders to sell WROU to Radio One and the Troy station WRNB to EMF Broadcasting in 2003 now airing K-LOVE programming as WOKL.

In 2007 WOKL began low-power simulcasting on translators W231AZ 94.1 mHz northeast of Sidney,W244BR 96.7 in Springfield and W269BP 101.7 mHz in Richmond,Indiana. Additional translators are planned for Springfield(107.1) and Urbana.(103.7)

K-LOVE programming is also heard on WKLN 102.3 in Wilmington (the former WSWO-FM) serving the south Dayton and northern Cincinnati suburbs as well as WNLT 104.3 licensed to Harrison serving Fairfield and metropolitan Cincinnati. In addition,WOAR 88.3 located in the eastern Clark County community of South Vienna(And a translator in the SW Clark County village of Enon at 103.3) aired K-LOVE programming,but has since switched and now airs Air One Christian programming for Springfield, London, Urbana, Mechanicsburg, Marysville and Grove City as well as Fairborn,Medway,Donnelsville,and Yellow Springs. WVSO was formerly an affiliate of American Family Radio.

The WSWO-FM calls have moved to a low power FM station in Huber Heights, Ohio with the WRNB calls transplanted to an FM station in the Philadelphia market which is also owned by Radio One.

Translators

In addition to the main station, WOKL is relayed by an additional 8 translators to widen it's broadcast area.
