WTOD (106.5 MHz) is an FM radio station licensed to serve Delta, Ohio, covering the Toledo metropolitan area. WTOD is owned by Delmarva Educational Association, and the station’s transmitter resides in nearby Whitehouse. History The construction permit for this station was first issued in 1990 to Dickey Broadcasting. The first assigned call letters were WUIA and then WMHE; neither were ever used. Dickey Broadcasting (which would evolve into Cumulus Broadcasting) did not put the station on the air. This was due to confusion surrounding whether doing so would compromise FCC regulations. At the time, the FCC Rules prohibited a Broadcaster from having more than one AM and one FM property in the same market. Dickey Broadcasting already owned WWWM-FM (now WQQO) and WWWM 1470 (now defunct). Buzz 106.5 The license was sold for $149,920 in August 1993 to Toledo Radio, Inc. 106.5 signed on in the fall of 1994, taking the call letters WBUZ. "The Buzz" was a hybrid format of harder-edged alternative rock and album-oriented rock. The station quickly became popular, and in June 1996, added "The Howard Stern Show." Despite the station's popularity, many on the east side of Toledo complained about poor radio reception. To alleviate this, in August 1998, WJZE's classic rock format was dropped for a full-time simulcast of The Buzz, with the station now referring to itself as "Buzz 106.5 and 97.3." "Double the buzz 106.5 west 97.3 east" was one of the station's slogans. Rock 106 The station was sold to Cumulus Broadcasting in early 1999. Once Cumulus took control, over a Weekend in late February 1999, the station stunted with an odd mixture of different music and sounds. After the Howard Stern Show on February 22, 1999, the station was re-launched as "Rock 106, Toledo's Pure Rock." The Howard Stern Show was dropped in early 2000. On August 1, 2000, the WJZE simulcast was dropped in favor of a classic hits format, thus ending the LMA with RASP Broadcasting. The call letters were changed from WBUZ to WRWK. 106.5 The Zone "Rock 106" never caught on with Toledo radio listeners, with low ratings along with being beaten by CIMX-FM (89X) from Windsor, Ontario, management decided it was time for a change. In November 2001, after stunting for a couple days with a loop of "Swans Splashdown" by J.J Perrey & Gershon Kingsley and "Lonesome Road" by Dean Elliot & His Big Band,
