WQTT (1270 AM) — branded True Oldies QT 1270 — is a commercial radio station licensed to Marysville, Ohio. The station primarily serves the Union County region, with limited coverage in the Columbus market. The station is under ownership of Brent Casagrande through licensee Delmar Communications, Inc, and features a locally-programmed oldies format. WQTT launched a FM translator on October 29, 2016. It broadcasts from north of town on state route 4, 250 watts, at 98.7FM.
WQTT signed on in 1984 as WUCO with a country music format, switching to oldies in 1991 and adult contemporary in the late 1990s. It was previously owned by Frontier Broadcasting, based in the Columbus suburb of Westerville, and was founded by Bart Johnson, the son of the late farm broadcaster Ed Johnson. WPTW in Piqua was also owned by Frontier Broadcasting (now owned by Miami Valley Radio LLC).
It switched again to a classic country format in 2003 before the station was sold to St. Gabriel Radio in 2005. Afterward, Bart Johnson and former ABN Radio farm director Dale Minyo formed Ohio Ag-Net under the umbrella of Agri Communicators Inc., the former parent company of ABN.
In August of 2005, WUCO was purchased by St. Gabriel Radio Inc. -- formed in 1998 and named for the Archangel Gabriel, the patron saint of communication workers worldwide --and adopted a Catholic-centered format aimed towards the Columbus market, with studios in Columbus. The majority of WUCO's programming schedule included content from EWTN Radio. Beginning in February of 2007, WUCO was also near-simulcast on FM via Lexington-licensed WFOT 89.5 mHz, which services the Mansfield area and is now a repeater of WNOC-based Annunciation Radio.
