History

WMRN: Buckeye Country 107

WMRN (106.9 FM) — branded Buckeye Country 107 and eventually just WMRN 107 — had served Marion, Ohio under a country music format. On December 1, 2007, the station was relicensed to Dublin, Ohio and began targeting the Columbus radio market; the station frequency also had moved to 106.7 MHz. Prior to the announced launch, iHeartMedia (then known as Clear Channel Communications) registered a large number of web domains with various formats and brandings to throw off competitors from switching to null the impact of their launch. Stunting on-air consisted of television theme songs as "TV 106.7". The former country format moved to 94.3 MHz (formerly WDIF-FM); the WMRN call letters returned to that station in January 2008.
