WOHS

WOHS (1390 AM) is a radio station broadcasting a Classic Country format. Licensed to Shelby, North Carolina, USA, the station is currently owned by HRN Broadcasting, Inc. but leased by KTC Broadcasting, and features programming from Citadel Media's Real Country.

History

Billy James of John Boy and Billy started his career at WADA, later moving to WCGC and then WAAK.

The station was originally licensed as WADA. Debbie A. Clary became president and general manager of WADA in 1986 and later made the decision to change from country music to talk radio. WADA was one of the first radio stations in the Charlotte area to carry Rush Limbaugh, airing the show even before WBT. Clary became a state legislator in 1995 and sold the radio station in 1999. Edwin Johnson sold the station to HRN Broadcasting in 2006.

In 2004, Tim Biggerstaff, a DJ for more than 20 years, was still hosting his show on WCSL and WLON despite diabetes-related health problems. Later he moved to Lincolnton-based Hometown Radio's Shelby operation. On WADA he played classic country music, and he hosted a "Swap Shop" show on WGNC and WOHS. By this time he had experienced a kidney transplant and two pancreas transplants. On Memorial Day 2007, while on the air, Biggerstaff had a seizure and asked for help on the air, and a listener called 911. He ended up being interviewed by BBC London, Today and People Magazine.
