Do not fill this in! ===As WMGS=== After WHRW was sold to Good, the studios and offices were moved to the Waldorf Hotel in Toledo, as the recent power increase afforded the station with full market signal penetration. The relocation to Toledo did not last long and the station returned to the Bowling Green area, taking space along Main Street. The call letters were then changed to '''WMGS''', to reflect the positioning statement "with more good sounds", though some station insiders referred to "Max Good's Station" as the more accurate translation. The station was [[dark (broadcasting)|silent]] until it moved to the present location in Lime City. It returned to the air with 1,000 watts, days only, using four towers. The Program Director was George Mishler who also hosted middays. The morning [[drive time]] [[disc jockey|DJ]] was Roy Blair, and the afternoon host was Jim Hamilton. The music was [[middle of the road (music)|middle of the road]] (MOR). When the format changed to [[country music]], George Mishler went to work for the [[Voice of America]] (VOA) in [[Washington, D.C.]] He ultimately became a manager of Special English programming. Jim Hamilton headed for Chicago, and Roy Blair went to Bowling Green State University to complete his B.A. in English. During this time, Roy announced for WFOB AM/FM, Fostoria and began work at WSPD AM after graduation. After WSPD AM, Roy was next heard on WJBK-TV 2, Detroit.
