Previously carrying a variety hits format under the My 101.7 brand, the station aired a Christmas music format until launching an adult contemporary format on December 26, 2018. Owned by iHeartMedia, the station is the local affiliate for programs hosted by nationally syndicated personalities Ron Wilson and Jim Brickman. The WHOF studios are located in North Canton, while the station transmitter resides in Canton. In addition to standard analog transmission, WHOF broadcasts over two HD Radio channels, and is available online via iHeartRadio. The HD2 digital subchannel airs a Country format under the brand 99.7 Canton's New Country, and is simulcast over Canton translator W259BW (99.7 FM). HistoryWHOF began as WJER-FM, under license to Dover, Ohio, on July 25, 1968, the FM sister to WJER (1450 AM). On April 14, 2006, the Federal Communications Commission approved a request from the station's owners, iHeartMedia (then known as Clear Channel Communications) to move the WJER-FM city of license to North Canton, Ohio. On December 27, 2006, the station adopted a new callsign, WHOF, and signed off. On January 16, 2007, WHOF signed back on as My 101.7 with an adult contemporary format; Billy Joel's "My Life" was the first song to air.[1][2][3] On September 4, 2015, WHOF dismissed all on-air staff and began stunting with 80s music, teasing a change to come the following Tuesday at 8 am. At that time, rumors abounded that WHOF would adopt the country format of its HD2 channel.[4] The "Something Different" turned out to be a 1980s-oriented variety hits format, as WHOF removed all current/recurrent music.[5] The first song under the variety hits format was "My Town" by the Michael Stanley Band. On November 19, 2018, My 101.7 flipped to its seasonal Christmas music format and on their website it said to tune in on December 26, at 9 a.m. to hear a new format. This is pretty odd since the Variety Hits format that My 101.7 has was ranked number 3 in the market with a 5.0 share.[6] On December 26, 2018 at 9 am WHOF launched an adult contemporary format, branded as "Sunny 101.7".[7] WHOF-HD2Country music accounts for all regular programming on the HD2 digital subchannel. Branded 99.7 Canton's New Country, WHOF-HD2 also simulcasts over Canton translator W255BW (99.7 FM), owned and operated by iHeartMedia. The transmitter for W259BW is located in Canton on a tower also utilized by WHOF and full-power sister station WRQK. WHOF-HD2/W259BW serves as the regional affiliate for The Bobby Bones Show; all other regular content, including station imaging, voice-over audio, music and on-air talent, either comes from the iHeartMedia mainstream urban national format via the Premium Choice "iHeartRadio Country" network, or is voice-tracked out-of-market specifically for the subchannel/translator.
