COACB Board of Directors
In 1980 the Central Ohio Association of Christian Broadcasters was organized for the purpose of spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ through the means of radio and television stations (see mission statement).
In 1988, it was granted a license for W39AQ (WOCB-LP), Marion, Ohio. The station signed on the air on June 14, 1989--with an effective radiated power of 560 watts. What the station lacked in power, it made up for in enthusiasm. In 1992, the FCC granted permission for the station to increase its power to 18,900 watts.
Plans for a new broadcast complex were drafted in 1995, and the complex was completed in April 1996. This 9,000 sq. ft. facility houses the corporate offices and main studios of the Central Ohio Association of Christian Broadcasters.
The organization purchased W56CA (WXCB-LP), Delaware, Ohio, in Febuary 1997. The two stations are operated as sister stations, both broadcasting the Trinity Broadcasting Network twenty-one hours a day. |
