WNND and WNNP are two FM radio stations serving the Columbus, Ohio market. Owned by Saga Communications, WNND broadcasts on 103.5 MHz from Pickerington, Ohio, and WNNP broadcasts on 104.3 MHz from Richwood, Ohio. Its studios are located in Upper Arlington.
Prior to joining in a simulcast, WNND formerly carried a Smooth AC format "Smooth Jazz 103.5" under the WJZA calls with programming derived from Broadcast Architecture's Smooth Jazz Network, while from 2009 to 2010, WNNP had its own identity as WODB, "Big Hits B104.3," with a classic hits format.
At 4:35 p.m. on July 30, 2010, after a brief stunt airing songs with an "end" theme, WJZA and WODB became "Rewind 103.5/104.3: Columbus' Greatest Hits," and adopted a 1980s-based classic hits format. The first song on "Rewind" was "Let's Groove" by Earth, Wind & Fire. On August 6, 2010, WJZA and WODB changed their call letters to WNND and WNNP, respectively.
WNND and WNNP are now a combined two of five radio stations in the Columbus market to have a Classic Hits format, joining Newark-based WNKO, WTDA (satellite-programmed by Dial Global) and WZCB, which offers a "Gen X" 1990s-2005 format. They also feature the second 1980s-derived classic hits format in Columbus radio history, as sister station WVMX was all-1980s WXST ("Star 107.9") back in the late 1990s.
WNND was first assigned the call sign WSWZ on May 11, 1989, and aired an oldies format targeting Lancaster. WSWZ changed call letters to WJZA on February 13, 1998, and switched format to smooth jazz, taking the format previously aired on 107.5. That station dropped the WJZA calls and smooth jazz format on December 26, 1997 in exchange for WCKX's calls and format, which were dropped from 106.3 FM (now known as WBMO).
