WOHF (92.1 FM, "The Wolf") is an American radio station licensed to Bellevue, Ohio, serving Ohio's Vacationland region, and featuring a classic hits music format.

The station is an affiliate of Cumulus Media's Classic Hits (formerly "Pure Gold" and "Oldies Radio") network. WOHF is part of the Sandusky, Ohio cluster of stations owned by BAS Broadcasting, and is located on North River Road in Fremont.

For many years, 92.1 FM was home to CHR/Top 40 station WNRR, known as "92.1 The Hits." In October 2003, the station was sold to BAS Broadcasting, who changed the calls to WOHF and switched the station to ABC Radio's The Classic Rock Experience format under the new moniker "The Wolf." This put the station in competition with a number of other stations in the Ohio North Coast area broadcasting locally programmed classic rock formats, including WXKR and WMJK. In the summer of 2007, BAS switched WOHF from The Classic Rock Experience to Oldies Radio.

In 2011, WOHF became the Sandusky/Port Clinton affiliate of the Rocket Sports Radio Network, broadcasting all University of Toledo football games and selected men's basketball broadcasts, as well as the coach's shows for both sports. WOHF is also an affiliate of the Ohio State Buckeyes radio network.

WNRR first signed on April 4, 1973, under the ownership of John P. Bedard of Detroit, Michigan. Bellevue Mayor Phillus Robertson pressed the button to officially begin operations at 10:10 a.m. The station broadcast with 1,100 watts from studios at 106½ East Main Street in Bellevue, Ohio, with its transmitting antenna located on the roof of the building.

The original antenna, which stood 110 feet above average terrain, was destroyed in February 1974 by a severe windstorm that struck the area. The station returned to the air a week later, operating at 500 watts, and remained at that power level for several years before eventually increasing to 1,800 watts.

In 1978, the station's general manager, Robert Ladd, purchased the station from John P. Bedard for $78,000. Ladd had also been the chief advertising salesman and chief engineer since the station's inception.

WNRR began operation as a Contemporary MOR (what would now be called Hot AC) station with four local on air personalities, Bob Ladd, Bill Wise, Kim Newsom and Jim Larvic. Micheal Shay and Bob Alue worked weekends. The station featured local newscasts each hour and National news from ABC FM Network (later NBC and finally CNN).
