WLIO, NBC Lima, is the NBC television affiliate in Lima, Ohio. It broadcasts its analog signal on UHF channel 35, and its digital signal on VHF channel 8 with 27,500 watts. Its transmitter is located in Lima.

WLIO is the only full power network affiliated station in Lima.

WLIO also formerly operated "West Central Ohio CW", a CW Television Network affiliate, but this affiliation ended on September 17, 2008. Prior to this date, West Central Ohio CW was found on local cable, and as a subchannel of WLIO-DT. It had replaced a former cable-only WB Network affiliate known as WBOH, which was also operated by WLIO. Since WLIO discontinued its carriage of The CW, WBOH has been reinstated on cable only, carrying programming supplied by the CW Plus Network.

History

The station was founded on April 18, 1953, as WLOK-TV, broadcasting on UHF channel 73. It carried programming from all four TV networks of the "Golden Age" of television: NBC, CBS, ABC, and DuMont Television Network [http://www.wlio.com/aboutUs.aspx] . On April 24, 1955, its call letters were changed to WIMA-TV, and it was moved to UHF channel 35. (TV channels 70 through 83 have since been reserved for uses other than television broadcasting.) On February 1, 1972, the call letters were changed to present day WLIO. It is currently owned by Block Communications. More technical information can be found on the station's engineering web site, wlio.net.

Adrian Cronauer was a staff announcer and personality at the former WIMA-TV from 1965 to 1967. Before coming to Lima, his tour of duty in Vietnam and being a DJ on an armed forces radio station in Saigon later served as the inspiration for the 1987 Touchstone Pictures-released film "Good Morning Vietnam" in which Cronauer was portrayed by Robin Williams.
