radio format on 1230 AM. Competing station WVKO (1580 AM) eventually changed formats, and picked up much of the former WTPG schedule for a brief time before switching to a religious format. On January 26, 2009, WYTS dropped the conservative talk format and became the Columbus affiliate for Fox Sports Radio. WYTS will carry the full FSR schedule (with the exception of 9 a.m. – noon, when a replay of the Steve Czaban Show will air instead of The Dan Patrick Show, which aired on WTDA) and will hold on to The Jim Rome Show. After WTDA dropped its talk format and Patrick's show in late December 2009, WYTS picked Patrick's show live. On February 21, 2017, WYTS and W287CP flipped to Urban AC as "Vibe 105.3". The change comes as the sports format was made irrelevant due to sister station WXZX flipping to a similar format the previous November. Michael Eiland, assistant program director and middayer of sister WODC, will host mornings on Vibe. The remainder of the day will feature Premium Choice hosts including WVAZ afternoon host Joe Soto in middays and WSOL-FM midday host Jo-Jo in afternoons. On March 28, 2017, just over a month after the flip to "Vibe", WYTS and W287CP rebranded as "Kiss 105.3". The change was likely due to a conflict with similarly branded "Vibe Radio HD" on WCVO-HD2. On November 29, 2017, WYTS flipped to a classic hip-hop format. The change occurred as former similarly formatted WBMO flipped to a simulcast of WCKX the day prior. On October 2, 2020, WYTS flipped to all-news, joining iHeart's "Black Information Network". The classic hip hop format continues on the 105.3 translator, relayed by WZCB's HD2 sub-channel.
