WIOU radio station was established by Richard H. Blacklidge, William Naftzger, and John Carl Jefferies. Blacklidge was the CEO of the Kokomo Tribune at the time. Naftzger was a local attorney. Jefferies had been with radio station WKMO as general manager. The call letters, WIOU, were chosen by Naftzger's wife, Alma, since all were in debt to start the station.
