Family Life Network

The Family Life Network is a Christian radio network simulcasting via stations across Western and Central New York, as well as northern Pennsylvania from flagship station WCIK. It is owned and operated by the larger Family Life Ministries of Bath, New York. Founded in 1957, FLM is an accredited member of the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability (ECFA).

The Family Life Network should not be confused with the unrelated Family Life Communications (also known as Family Life Radio), a chain of similar radio stations in Michigan and the southwest.

Much of the network's revenue comes from acquiring translators in the commercial broadcast band, of which it has compiled a massive network, and flipping them to commercial broadcasters.

WDJO

WDJO is an AM radio station in Cincinnati, Ohio that airs an oldies format. They are the Cincinnati affiliate for the Ohio State IMG Sports Network and for the nationally syndicated Imus in the Morning program. Oldies 1480 (as they are branded) is owned by Robert T. Nolan, through licensee Mustang Media, Inc. The station operates at 4,500 watts during the day and 300 watts at night.

The station was long known as WCIN, called "The Pulse of the City", and provided programming for the African-American community of the tri-state area until May 17, 2007, except for a brief time in the 1990s, when it broadcast classical music.

History

The station was established in 1953 as WCIN. During the 1960s, WCIN became a highly regarded soul music station featuring a variety of African-American personalities.

In 1995, then-owner J4 Broadcasting Network bought radio stations in Norfolk, Virginia, New Bern, North Carolina and Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, and began distributing its "Classic Oldies" format of 50s-70s R&B, jazz and blues to those stations. J4 owner and president John C. Thomas hoped to expand to more stations. Allen Guess served as morning host, Marsha Robinson did afternoons, and Jim Morris handled evenings.
