**WIOO** (1000 [kHz](/source/KHz)), known as "Country Gold FM & AM", WIOO is a commercial [AM radio](/source/AM_radio) station [licensed](/source/City_of_license) to serve [Carlisle, Pennsylvania](/source/Carlisle%2C_Pennsylvania). The call sign stands for the station's former long-time branding, "W-100", referring to its position on the AM dial. WIOO airs "country gold" format, playing [country music](/source/Country_music) from approximately 5–50 years ago. The station is affiliated with [Westwood One](/source/Westwood_One), and with [Motor Racing Network](/source/Motor_Racing_Network), and [Performance Racing Network](/source/Performance_Racing_Network) for extensive [NASCAR](/source/NASCAR) coverage.

WIOO is a "[daytimer](/source/Daytimer)", broadcasting at full power from local sunrise to local sunset, and at reduced power from local sunset until 45 minutes later (during "[critical hours](/source/Critical_hours)"), after which it signs off to protect clear channel station [WMVP](/source/WMVP) in Chicago from [skywave](/source/Skywave) interference. The station's programming is simulcast 24 hours a day on FM translators 97.9 W250AP and 107.3 W297CO both in Carlisle. WIOO also simulcasts the majority of its programming on translator 93.9 W230AX, licensed to serve [Shippensburg, Pennsylvania](/source/Shippensburg%2C_Pennsylvania).

WIOO airs local news in Cumberland County, provides the noonday [Tradio](/source/Tradio) show for listener call ins each day as part of its one-hour news and information block, and carries live sports including locally produced Cumberland Valley Eagles football on the Carlisle frequencies and Shippensburg Greyhounds football on FM 93.9. The station carries major college and NFL football, NASCAR and [Baltimore Orioles](/source/Baltimore_Orioles) baseball during respective seasons.

## History

WIOO signed on the air on July 8, 1965, and played contemporary music for most of its history. During the late 1960s and early to mid-1970s, it was a successful Top 40 station which, despite being a daytimer, competed with Harrisburg stations [WKBO](/source/WKBO) and [WFEC](/source/WHGB) for the teenage audience.[2]

WIOO has a long-standing history of morning personalities dating back to the mid-1960s. They include Bob Hamilton, Dick Raymond, R.J. Harris, Jim (J.J) Jefferson and Marissa Osborne, Ben Barber, Jack Wagner, Scott Donato, Kirk Wise (Wise Guy), Dave Eddy, Larry Flood, and currently on the air veteran broadcaster Hollis Z who doubles as assistant program director. Currently, afternoon drive is handled by air personality and program director Ray Thomas. Ray has been a major force in Carlisle radio for over a quarter of a century. [Robin Quivers](/source/Robin_Quivers), now of *[The Howard Stern Show](/source/The_Howard_Stern_Show)*, received her first radio job on WIOO in late 1979. Quivers beat out a field of three applicants from the Broadcast Institute of Maryland (BIM) to get the news anchor position at WIOO. Robin had worked approximately one year for WIOO before accepting a position at another station.

WIOO was granted a [construction permit](/source/Construction_permit) by the [FCC](/source/FCC) in 2015. The station's day power increased to 15,000 watts, and it gained [critical hours](/source/Critical_hours) power of 2,700 watts.[3] The station's critical hour power is subject to local sunset of [WMVP](/source/WMVP) in Chicago, Illinois, on the same frequency.[4]
