===WOSA (2010–present)=== WOSA's roots date back to WOSU-FM's long history as a classical outlet, airing the format on a full-time basis from 1980 until 2008 as a complement to [[WOSU (AM)|WOSU]], which would air more traditional public radio fare. Starting on January 14, 2008, WOSU-FM switched to a mixed news/classical format, introducing NPR news magazines during morning and evening drive-times along with assorted NPR and [[Public Radio International|PRI]] weekend programs. Many of these programs were simulcast with its AM sister station [[WVSG (AM)|WOSU]], which still programmed a separate news/talk format. As a result, WOSU established a 24-hour all classical music service on its second [[HD Radio]] channel and on its web site. Upon WOSA's establishment, it assumed WOSU-FM's 24-hour HD-2 and internet-only all [[European classical music|classical music]] service on a full-time basis, operating as a non-commercial station. In addition, WOSU-FM's format changed to news/talk as a simulcast with WOSU (subsequently divested). WOSU also converted four repeater stations for WOSU-FM—WOSB in [[Marion, Ohio|Marion]], WOSE in [[Coshocton, Ohio|Coshocton]], WOSP in [[Portsmouth, Ohio|Portsmouth]] and WOSV in [[Mansfield, Ohio|Mansfield]]—to repeaters of WOSA. In particular, WOSB and WOSV serve areas north of Columbus that are not served well by the new 101.1 frequency. On March 2, 2020, WOSA's repeaters, along with the newly-acquired [[WOSX]] in [[Granville, Ohio|Granville]], readded some of WOSU-FM's news programming, including ''[[Morning Edition]]'', ''[[Weekend Edition]]'', and ''[[All Things Considered]]'', to their schedules, while continuing to simulcast WOSA for most of the day. WOSA itself remains all-classical.<ref name="ri-repeatersnewsandclassical">{{cite news |last1=Venta |first1=Lance |title=WOSU Network To Move To Mix Of News & Classical |url=https://radioinsight.com/headlines/184738/wosu-network-to-move-to-mix-of-news-classical/ |access-date=April 23, 2023 |work=RadioInsight |date=February 26, 2020}}</ref>
