OMW hears that former WOHI/1490 East Liverpool morning host Jim Martin has returned to a regular spot on the station.
Martin lost his long-time morning drive show on the station when it changed format to ESPN Radio, the same change made by other Keymarket/Forever AM stations in Steubenville and Wheeling WV (Bellaire OH). We hear that Martin's back on the air on WOHI in a different time slot - 10 AM to 1 PM weekdays. Martin's new program started on Monday.
After he left WOHI, the former veteran Youngstown radio/TV personality (WFMJ) did some fill-in and part-time work on Cumulus standards WSOM/600 Salem.

And we'll assume Mr. Martin is making the trek to Center Township PA, unless we hear otherwise.

I don't know how long Jim Martin and local programming will remain on WOHI. So far the local programming that has been on has been interviews with local politicians, some very bad music, and the once popular "Swap Shop" appears to have lost some callers. Also, a show called "Ask the Attorney" which starts tomorrow may be of questionable value. With neither local personalities out in the community and now the actual station moving out of the community, I cannot believe the local programming as it exists now will continue much longer.
