WCOL-FM (92.3 FM, "Buckeye Country 92.3") is a country music radio station in Columbus, Ohio owned by Clear Channel Communications. The call sign represents the city of license (W-Columbus). The country format has been in place since February 14, 1994, when it transitioned from an oldies format (sometimes known as "Cool 92").
WCOL-FM first came on the air in 1948. During the 1970s, WCOL-FM was known as "Rock 92" and largely played album-oriented rock. For a time in the 1980s, the station used the WXGT call letters and played rock-oriented Top 40 as "The New 92X". When the country format was ushered in, the station stunted over the course of several days by broadcasting a computerized numeric countdown.
The WCOL call sign had also been used on an AM band station, which was the area's primary Top 40 station in the 1960s and early 1970s. That station is now known as WTPG.
