News Operation
Adrian Cronauer was a staff announcer and personality at WIMA from 1965 until 1967. Before coming to Lima, his tour of duty in Vietnam and being a disk jockey 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. Unlike most NBC affiliates in the Eastern Time Zone, WLIO does not air a full two-hour weekday morning show and/or newscast weeknights at 5:30.
The one hour morning broadcast at 6 is simulcasted on WOHL. Weeknights at 5 and 10, WLIO produces two thirty minute newscasts for its Fox/MyNetworkTV second digital subchannel. WOHL-CD and its CBS second digital subchannel simulcast WLIO's news weeknights at 6 and 11. Weekend evening broadcasts seen at 6 and 11 on this station are not simulcasted on the other services.
