WCIT (AM)
WCIT (940 AM, is a commercial broadcast radio station in Lima, Ohio, and features a sports format. The station, along with FM sister stations WEGE, WWSR and WFGF, share studio facilities on Cable Road in Lima. WCIT must operate with reduced power after local sunset to avoid interference with a Canadian clear channel signal, reserved for Montreal by international treaty (it was held by CINW until that station's shutdown in 2010).
History
Originally broadcasting only during the daytime hours, WCIT was founded in 1959 by the owners of The Lima Citizen. The Citizen folded in 1964, shortly thereafter, WCIT was sold off by the now-former newspaper's owners to Riggs Broadcasting, who also owned a combination AM/FM combination in Lansing, Michigan. Riggs Broadcasting owners were Richard Riggs, his wife Nora Riggs, Sales Manager Tom Rice and Chief Engineer Ray Allen.
WCIT would find a new studio home February 15, 1968 in downtown Lima. The studios were located on the 9th floor, suite 940 of Cook Tower, which was Lima's tallest building at the time. The move to the current studio location occurred in 1971. It would be known as the "Broadcast House" at 1301 Cable Road. Much of its programming consisted of an hourly local newscast and a Top Forty format using the branding "Great 94". WCIT became the market leader within a few years being the most recognized name in the market for news and music. Jim Baldridge, a Lima native had his start at WCIT in the late 1960s before moving on to WIZE in Springfield and later at WHIO-TV in Dayton.

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.
