WGRR
WGRR (103.5 MHz) is a commercial FM radio station licensed to Hamilton, Ohio, and serving the Cincinnati metropolitan area. It broadcasts a classic hits radio format and is owned by Cumulus Media. Its studios and offices are on Montgomery Road in Norwood, Ohio, using a Cincinnati address.
WGRR has an effective radiated power (ERP) of 11,000 watts. Its transmitter is off West North Bend Road at Winton Road in Cincinnati.
On February 9, 1959, the station signed on as WHOH, representing Hamilton, OHio. It was the FM sister station to WMOH 1450 AM, and was owned by Fort Hamilton Broadcasting. WHOH aired a blend of middle of the road and beautiful music through the 1960s and 70s.
In 1973, the call sign was changed to WYCH and in 1978 to WOKV playing soft adult contemporary music.
There was a format switch to all disco music in 1979. During this time, it was known as "The Chicken" in reference to its mascot, a giant whole broiled chicken dressed in seasonal clothing.
As disco lost steam in the 1980s, it switched briefly to a rock format as “Rock 104” in early 1981, only to switch again to Rhythmic Contemporary or "CHUrban" as WBLZ. WBLZ had a conservative playlist for a CHUrban formatted station.
WBLZ encountered competition when WSAI (previously WHKK), then on 100.9 FM, switched from a Christian radio format and went urban contemporary as WIZF in January 1987, known as "The Wiz." Despite WIZF's lower effective radiated power, WBLZ was unable to compete.
On January 4, 1990, the station became Cincinnati's first FM oldies station under the original moniker "Oldies 103.5."
