It also operated a translator signal on 100.9 MHz at the same landmark site: "Radio Hill" (at the intersection of Coshocton Avenue and Upper Gilchrist Road). The station was a full-service oldies station that also featured assorted talk and sports programming. WMVO was also an ABC News Radio affiliate.
