After stunting for the past month, Total Media Group has flipped its newly acquired 107.1 WIRO Ironton OH to Classic Country “107.1 Hank-FM“.
The station will be anchored by longtime area personality JB Miller in mornings. Miller most recently spent thirteen years in mornings at Kindred Communications Classic Country “101.5 Big Buck Country” WXBW Gallipolis OH/Huntington WV until exiting in September during a budget cut. Miller’s 46 year radio career has included time at many Huntington stations as well as WKRC Cincinnati and WODJ Grand Rapids.
WIRO began stunting in early December as all-Christmas “Ho Ho Radio“. On New Years Eve that switched to a loop of Prince’s “1999” followed by a few days of Billy Ray Cyrus’ “Achy Breaky Heart”. The station becomes Total Media’s second “Hank-FM” in southeastern Ohio joining 100.9 WXIZ Waverly/Chillicothe, which launched in February 2024.
