WNKO (101.7FM) is a radio station licensed toNew Albany, Ohio with aclassic hits format.
The station is locally owned and operated by the Runnymede Corporation. WNKO began operating in 1972 and is the sister station toWHTH.
The station had previously covered only theNewark, Ohio vicinity with 3,000watts of power. In 2009, WNKO filed an application to change its city of license toNew Albany, Ohio, change its transmitter location, and upgrade power. The move was tentative on WKSW (nowWCLI-FM), formerly inUrbana, Ohio, completing a move into theDayton market and switching frequencies from 101.7 to 101.5. Until such completion was made, WNKO could not otherwise move because its signal was limited with WKSW.
On March 25, 2011, WNKO began broadcasting from its new transmitter inJohnstown, Ohio. With this change, the station began providing a serviceable signal to theColumbus metropolitan area.
WNKO broadcasts in theHD format,[2] and is also licensed to broadcast a digital hybrid signal.[3]
