the format was changed to alternative as "106.5 The Zone." The first song on "The Zone" was "I'll Be Here Awhile" by 311. As The Zone, the stations ratings would fluctuate often, but usually did fairly well despite 106.5 signal being spotty in part of the Toledo market. 106.5 The Ticket In June 2009, The Zone's 7–year run came to an end, as the station's format changed to sports talk, simulcasting 1470 The Ticket (now defunct). The stations were re-branded as "106.5 The Ticket", only mentioning 1470 at the top of the hour. In August 2012, the simulcast with 1470 ended when that station took on a conservative talk radio format. On January 2, 2013, WLQR-FM became an affiliate of CBS Sports Radio, then switched back to ESPN Radio in early 2016. The callsign was changed to WTOD in September 2016. On March 27, 2018, WTOD-FM was placed into the Cumulus Reorganization Divestiture Trust for a future sale. Sale to Delmarva Educational Association On January 21, 2021, the trust announced they would sell the station to the Delmarva Educational Association for $110,000. The deal was valued at $400,000 for tax purposes with the remainder of the $110,000 purchase being considered a charitable contribution from Cumulus. On May 1, 2021, the sports talk format was moved to WQQO-HD2 while Delmarva took over WTOD and started airing Christian talk and teaching, but fell silent later that day. The station returned to the airwaves on June 16, 2021, retaining the Christian talk and teaching format.
