The Spanish Variety “Mega Cleveland (https://cleveland.lamegamedia.com)” brand will return to radio for the first time in over four years on 1300 WJMO starting November 1. Mega was previously heard on 87.7 WLFM-LP from January 2014 until the station ceased operation as a Franken-FM in June 2020 (https://radioinsight.com/headlines/189406/tv-repack-sends-mega-87-7-cleveland-to-go-online-only/). It has since continued broadcasting online only. 1300 WJMO currently serves as parent signal to Gospel “Praise 94.5 (https://praisecleveland.com)” W233CG, which will now be fed by 107.9 WENZ-HD2. WJMO will join Omega Media Broadcasting’s “Rumba 107.3-HD2 (https://esmirumba.com)” WNWV-HD2 in the Cleveland Spanish media marketplace.
Multiple changes will take place in Columbus. The Lazo Media owned “Mega 103.1 (https://columbus.lamegamedia.com)” WVKO-FM Johnstown has changed call letters to WWLA and will begin simulcasting its programming on Radio One’s 107.1 WJYD Circleville replacing Gospel “Joy 107.1 (https://joycolumbus.com)” on November 1. The expansion will help replace Radio One’s Regional Mexican “La Grande 102.5 (https://lagrande1025.com)” WWLG Baltimore as its LMA with Southeastern Ohio Broadcasting System will come to an end (https://radioinsight.com/headlines/201010/radio-one-launches-la-grande-102-5-columbus/) after four years.
WWLG has requested a call letter change to WKVR and it is expected to begin being operated by Educational Media Foundation as part of its Christian AC “K-Love (https://klove.com/)” network.
The Mega changes were first reported our 10/4 Domain Insight (https://radioinsight.com/headlines/netgnomes/283378/domain-insight-10-4-more-midwest-megas-for-radio-one/) report. At the time Radio One also registered LaMegaIndianapolis.com (http://LaMegaIndianapolis.com) and LaMegaIndy.com (http://LaMegaIndianapolis.com) hinting at the brand also being inserted on Regional Mexican “La Grande 105.1 (https://lagrandeindy.com)” W286CM/WHHH-HD2.
