Description

Two professors and a preacher invented Columbus radio. It all started with science experiments in classrooms and a minister’s desire to expand beyond his churchgoing audience. By 1922, government licenses had been issued for WEAO at Ohio State University and WJD at Denison University. At this same time, a Baptist minister went at the air for an hour each and every Sunday morning the usage of a 10-watt transmitter licensed as WMAN. On this story of Columbus radio, the work of the professors and the preacher will evolve into radio with advertiser-supported programs of information and entertainment. Three essential radio stations will serve a growing Columbus radio audience in different ways: WEAO becomes WOSU, a national pioneer in the usage of radio for teaching; WMAN becomes WCOL and within the 1960s is primary in audience size; and CBS affiliate WBNS becomes the class act of Columbus radio, retaining the key share of local listeners for plenty of decades. Including many other stations of lesser influence, the illustrated stories of Columbus radio are told On this book.
