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 the newer owners 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.
When WUCO moved its studios to Columbus in July 2007 as part of St. Gabriel Radio, Gene Kirby, a community-minded local citizen, stepped up to help fill the void for local community radio when he started up WMHO, a micropower AM broadcaster at 1620 kHz. This Part 15-compliant broadcast first aired classic country and later an oldies format. WMHO was on the air until the summer of 2011 until its tower was irreparably damaged by a lightning strike.
St. Gabriel Radio is currently heard on WVKO (AM) 1580 kHz in Columbus via a lease agreement with owner Bernard Ohio LLC. St. Gabriel Radio originally intended to purchase WVKO before the current WOSU (AM) 820 in Columbus was put up for sale. As such, St. Gabriel purchased the more powerful AM outlet from Ohio State University.
