Columbus Radio

More about the book

The origins of Columbus radio are traced back to the innovative efforts of two professors and a preacher, who transformed classroom science experiments and religious outreach into broadcasting. By 1922, key stations like WEAO and WJD emerged, alongside WMAN, a minister's weekly program. The narrative highlights the evolution of these stations: WEAO became WOSU, a leader in educational radio; WMAN evolved into WCOL, dominating the 1960s audience; and WBNS established itself as a premier CBS affiliate. Illustrated stories detail the development of various influential stations in Columbus.
