WOHL-CD is the Class A ABC-affiliated television station for Northwest Ohio licensed to Lima. It broadcasts a high definition digital signal on UHF channel 35 from a transmitter at its studios on Rice Avenue in the city. The station can also be seen on Time Warner Cable channel 12. Owned by Block Communications, WOHL is sister to NBC affiliate WLIO and the two share studios. Syndicated programming on this station includes The Office, Law and Order: Special Victims Unit, Judge Mathis, and The Meredith Vieira Show among others.
The station signed-on January 26, 1989 with the calls W67CA. It aired an analog signal on UHF channel 67 from a transmitter west of Cridersville in Auglaize County. The low-powered outlet was initially an Independent but joined Fox on October 9. In 1995, the station changed frequencies to UHF channel 25 while adopting the call sign WOHL-LP.
W18BP launched on May 28, 1996 as a full-time repeater of this station. This was followed by another translator, W65DP, on September 22, 1998. W18BP broke off from the simulcast in 1999 and became low-powered UPN affiliate WLQP-LP (that station eventually joined ABC when UPN closed in 2006). W65DP would follow sut in 2002, becoming CBS affiliate WLMO-LP. Also that year, channel 25 upgraded to Class A status with the call sign WOHL-CA. All three stations maintained facilities on South Central Avenue in Downtown Lima.
