WEAO Survives
to become WOSU
This is the final column for the summer
about the early history of WOSU from
General Manager Tom Rieland.
Robert Higgy
By 1924, with two full-time staff, WEAO aired
market reports, weather forecasts and news
of interest every afternoon, with Thursday
evenings reserved for live musical entertainment
and educational lectures. The station was on the
air about 20 hours every week.
Transmitter upgrades meant an expanded
signal and the staff was excited to hear
from listeners in Vermont, Florida and Texas.
The station had a distinctive sound, thanks
to the hiring of one the few regular female
announcers in the country, Ann Charles.
The Orton Hall Chimes were often played to
signify the start of a new program. WEAO
had hired its first full-time director, Robert
Higgy, a brilliant engineer who would hold the
position for three decades.
To
m
WEAO would scratch and claw
nd
ela
its way to survival, appealing
Ri
to OSU administration
constantly for support. The
government changed the
station’s frequency four
times and ordered it to
invest in new equipment and
share time with commercial
stations, or give up its license.
Through the Depression years, the
station distinguished itself by providing
courses over the radio and registering college
students unable to make it to Columbus.
Most educational institutions tried valiantly,
but couldn’t support radio. Of the some 200
licenses granted to educational institutions in
the early 1920s, only 38 stations remained on
the air by 1937. The majority of the surviving
stations were located at Midwest universities,
many guided by a strong land grant mission of
outreach and service. Strong advocacy efforts
formalized at national institutes held annually
at Ohio State assured that radio spectrum on
the future FM band would be set aside for
non-commercial entities.
The story of public broadcasting today started
at a few places with a vision of using the
medium to educate and inform, rather than
entertain and sell. One of those places
is The Ohio State University, which
fully embraced educational radio in
1933 by changing its call letters from
WEAO to WOSU.

89.7 NPR News & Classical 101 Highlights
The All-Day NPR News Station
Sports is tricky for public radio.
We know many of our listeners
like sports and closely follow
news of their favorite teams
and leagues. But many of our
listeners don’t care and are
turned off by coverage of pro
and college sports.

rivalries, sports is a unifying force in
American society.
NPR sports commentator Frank
Deford carries on that tradition
with his Wednesday essays
which often bemoan the loss of
innocence in big-time sports and
the oversized influence of a certain
cable sports network.
So public radio balances the needs of
the fanatic and the casual fan with what I call:
“Sports for Eggheads.” Rather than dissect
the quality of the Buckeyes’ third string
offensive line, we put sports in perspective.
As we report the final result, we look for a
more thoughtful angle. We’ll look at growing
enthusiasm about the Blue Jackets, the
economic impact of the Columbus Clippers
and the increasing influence of money in
college sports.
NPR listeners rely on their correspondent at
big sporting events. Tom Goldman has been
reporting on the World Series, Super Bowl and
Olympic Games for two decades. His prose
conveys the drama of competition without
the clichés. Goldman tells personal stories. His
most memorable piece came when the late
Jack LaLanne put him through a chair workout
during a 2004 profile.
NPR’s thoughtful sports coverage probably
began with former Morning Edition host Bob
Edwards’ Conversations with Red Barber. The
Friday segments showed, despite heated
Recently, 89.7 NPR News has stepped up its
sports coverage. First we began with what we
call “courtesy sportscasts” – basically letting
listeners know who won last night’s game. No

heavy analysis, just the score for those who
went to bed before the final out.
Now WOSU’s new podcast, After the Score,
expands our sports effort. WOSU Morning
Anchor Steve Brown and Web Content
Manager Thomas Bradley co-host the show,
giving sports “eggheads” a good name. Each
week they present the thinking person’s
sports program. They interview sports stars
like OSU basketball player Aaron Craft, local
and national sports writers, and others about
what’s happened on the court, ice and field.
They profile unsung athletes and examine the
business of sports.
Like any good sports fans, they rant—just a
little, and use proper grammar.
So if you’re a junkie, looking for more
thoughtful coverage of local and national
sports, 89.7 and NPR have you covered.

Daniel Barenboim and Mirian Conti.

Frank Dominguez
Why a classical program in Spanish? Dominguez says, “With Concierto, we are creating a perfect
entryway to classical music for Latinos in America…Hispanic culture is more diverse than
merengue and mariachi! Classical music has strong, deep roots in all the Americas, and Concierto’s
programming reflects that diversity. This is truly international music.” Moreover, the bilingual
presentation offers listeners an opportunity to hone or acquire second-language skills.
Beginning on Saturday, August 2, the program will be heard every Saturday night at 8pm on 101.1
and 89.7’s digital HD-2 channel (our classical repeater stations in Marion/Delaware/Mansfield/
