History
WWOW launched in 1959. This station started out as a rock 'n' roll, top 40s station and had a lot of following with Kenneth Vaughn as veteran news director for 33 yrs. Early DJs were names like Larry "Spyder" Snyder, Paul Allen, Bud "Stinky" Steiger and numerous others. Many locals also had their chance at being a DJ too, and filled in on weekends, holidays, etc.
Original owner was Lew Skully, from Youngstown, Ohio.
The station has switched from talk, to oldies, to Catholic religious and back to oldies since May 27, 2005.
Since 2011, WWOW has been operating as Boomer Tunes Radio, "The Music of a Generation" on 1360WOW. 1360WOW has also expanded its sports coverage significantly by carrying the Columbus Blue Jackets and Conneaut Spartans football and boys basketball.
