WOSU will flip the 101.1 frequency to noncommercial Classical and will air all News-Talk on its WOSU-F/COLUMBUS, in a simulcast with WOSU-A. WWCD will retain its calls and format... and will move to the 102.5 frequency in a deal with WHIZ Media Group, which moved the signal from the Zanesville market to Columbus last year.
WWCD, in a partnership with Zanesville-based WHIZ Media Group, will migrate to 102.5 FM... WHIZ President Hank Littick said he thinks WWCD's format is a better fit for the 102.5 signal, formerly occupied by country music station WCVZ. He declined to characterize his group's partnership with Fun With Radio and Vaughan did not respond to the question... it (WWCD) gives up 20 years of the familiar CD101 brand and its ubiquitous promotional bumper stickers. The station is using the tag line "CD 101 at 102.5" for now and is broadcasting on both frequencies. But the WOSU agreement prohibits it from using the 101 or 101.1 name after the deal closes.
The move gives WWCD a stronger signal than it had for the previous 20 years, though it does give up its 101 branding per the agreement.
Recently, we were unable to reach an agreement with the owner of the FCC License, and at 12:01am on November 1st, CD102.5 will leave the FM airwaves.

WWCD intends to retain its familiar call letters after the move, and will continue to air Columbus Blue Jackets games.
Ohio State University's WOSU Public Media is buying the Grove City-licensed WWCD (101.1) and will install a full-time non-commercial classical format there when it closes the deal this Fall. That allows OSU to turn its classical/news WOSU (89.7) into a 24/7 public radio news/talker.
WOSU Public Media, the broadcasting arm of the Ohio State University, has acquired the 101.1 signal from Fun With Radio, LLC for $4.8 Million. Following the closing of the sale in September or October (it was delayed until December), 101.1 will flip to non-commercial Classical while 89.7 WOSU-FM will flip to all NPR News/Talk in a simulcast with 820 WOSU... Original Post 6/26/10: A move of Columbus, OH's Alternative "CD101" WWCD appears to be on the horizon. A pair of domain registrations hint at a new frequency for the longtime independently owned station. CD101at1025.com and CD1025.com were both registered anonymously but pointing to the servers of the Columbus area ISP that host WWCD's online operations.
