WOSL (100.3 FM; "100.3 R&B") is a radio station licensed to Norwood, Ohio. The station is owned by Radio One, and airs an urban AC format. Its studios are located at Centennial Plaza in Downtown Cincinnati and the transmitter site is west of the downtown area.
The station began broadcasting on April 4, 1948, as WCNB-FM. It was owned by The News-Examiner Company, publisher of the Connersville News-Examiner. Studios were on the second floor of the News-Examiner Building, 406 Central Avenue in Connersville.
On September 2, 2006, Radio One, Inc. acquired the intellectual property and call letters of WMOJ-FM from Cumulus Media Partners, and moved it from 94.9 FM to 100.3 FM. 100.3 had been moved into the Cincinnati market by Radio One, after it purchased the former WIFE-FM in Connersville, Indiana.
Cumulus retained ownership of the 94.9 FM frequency, and after the 2006 Cincinnati radio station reorganization in which the 94.9 frequency was traded to Entercom Communications, 94.9 FM is now the home of WREW "Rewind 94.9", an adult hits station. That station is now operated by Hubbard Broadcasting.
While WMOJ was on the 94.9 frequency, it was branded "Mojo 94.9", and aired a rhythmic oldies format that appealed to both the black and white demographics. This station had very high ratings until its demise. After the station's move to 100.3 FM in 2006, the station took an urban adult contemporary format while retaining the "Mojo" branding and WMOJ call letters. WMOJ has since begun to carry the Tom Joyner Morning Show, which is now simulcasted on WDBZ, which originally aired it by itself. On December 6, 2010, WMOJ shifted its format to rhythmic oldies, still under the "Mojo 100.3" branding. The first song after the relaunch was "Rock with You" by Michael Jackson.
