Radio magazine reader and broadcaster Steve Pietras alerted us that Toledo, Ohio, station WTOD(AM) is shutting off. (The Blade reported on ithere.)
�
Cumulus Media owns the station. According to The Blade, the�Federal Communications Commission �informed Cumulus that WTOD was out of compliance with its prescribed license limits.
�
The station originally signed on the air in 1954 as WOHO.
�
Pietras explains “This station was the old WOHO a heavy power house rocker in the 1960s and has quite a history. The Pickle road site is now all but abandoned and the tower lights haven’t worked in years.”
�
Pietras was also kind enough to drive to the transmitter site and take the photo, shown above and credited to SBE 104 Toledo.�
�
UPDATE:�A fellow engineer contacted Pietras Oct. 9 to report that two of the four towers now have FAA lighting.
