You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 18.214.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 10:52, 20 August 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''WWSR''' (93.1 [[FM broadcasting|FM]], "93.1 The Fan") is a commercial [[radio station]] in [[Lima, Ohio]], broadcasting a [[sports radio|sports]] format.

==History==
WWSR (previously WFGF) was founded in August 1985 as WYRX "93 Rocks"(later 93-X and briefly as WFRY) which would become a [[sister station]] to [[WZOQ]] at first with an [[album-oriented rock]] format and transmits with 3,000 watts E.R.P. Its studios were shared with WZOQ in a building which previously housed a [[KFC]] restaurant on Cable Road in Lima. Its transmitter is located on Baty Rd. When Forever Broadcasting purchased the former WCIT-AM and WLSR-FM, the studios were moved up the street into the location of the AM/FM combo now known respectively as the resurrected [[WCIT (AM)]] with an oldies format and classic rock [[WEGE]]-FM. The call letter and format switch to WFGF "Froggy 93" took place in March 1998. Although, Froggy did make a brief country format appearance in 1993 and changed back to the rock format, 93-X. Froggy 93 continued its local country music following in Lima.

The [[WFGF]] callsign and country format was moved to 92.1 in May 2009 as the new branding "92.1 The Frog."

==Station ownership==
*1993 - 2003 '''FOREVER BROADCASTING LLC''' - also owned stations in Altoona, Johnstown, State College and Meadville
*2003 - 2013 '''MAVERICK MEDIA LLC''' - also owns stations in Santa Rosa Calif, Eau Claire WI and Rockford Ill.
*2013 - 2017 '''CHILDERS MEDIA GROUP LLC''' - a Lima-based company
*2017–present '''WOOF BOOM RADIO'''<ref>((cite web |title=Woof Boom Radio Expands To Lima |url=https://radioinsight.com/headlines/119463/woof-boom-radio-expands-lima/ |website=RadioInsight.com |publisher=Lance Venta |access-date=June 17, 2019))</ref>

==Change to sports radio==
On June 1, 2009, the sports/talk format on sister station WZOQ was moved over to the 93.1 FM facility, while the country music format and WFGF calls were moved to the 92.1 FM facility, replacing the soft AC ''"Star"'' format. The 940 AM facility assumed an oldies format and reverted to its original WCIT callsign. "93.1 The Fan" carries the programming of the national sports network ESPN Radio. Some local sports programming included "SportsTalk With Koza" hosted by former WLIO-TV sports director Vince Koza, and "Sportsrap with Matt and Matt."

Effective July 1, 2013, WWSR and its sister stations were sold by Maverick Media LLC to a local company, Childers Media Group LLC, at a price of $2.1 million; its studios and offices were moved to new facilities located at 57 Town Square in downtown Lima. In 2017, Childers Media was purchased by former Maverick Media LLC General Manager J. Chapman and Woof Boom Radio which is based in Muncie Indiana with clusters in Muncie, Anderson and Lafayette.
