DAYTON, OHIO — For the last five years, the total news share for Cox Media Group‘s WHIO-7 in this gritty Miami Valley city has averaged 74% of news viewing. With the Dayton Daily News and News/Talk WHIO-AM & FM in its stable, the company enjoys an unprecedented advantage in Dayton.
WHIO-TV wanted more — specifically, 42 communities in the Indianapolis and Lima, Ohio DMAs, respectively. The Lima request was contested, and the FCC on Wednesday issued its Memorandum Opinion and Order on the matter.
