Is a 6,000 watt Radio station operating on 96.3 - FM from Lost Creek, West Virginia that features Inspirational Country, Bluegrass and Southern Gospel Music. It's the way Radio "used" to be, and the way that the original owner, envisioned the station when he built it in 1991

WOTR-FM was constructed largely by hand utilizing salvaged equipment by Bill Allman, a native of Lost Creek, WV - who was an eccentric, electronic genius. A frugal man who could take parts from a kitchen toaster and build a radio receiver or fix anything or everything from computers to televisions. "Why buy it when I can build it?" was his moto,.. and when he found that there was no electrical service available to his transmitter site he promptly purchased an old military surplus, diesel fuel powered electrical generator and converted it to run on natural gas that he got free from a well on his family farm. The studio, offices and living quarters where he made his home, were also powered with gas lamps. It was and still is, a very unique place.

The station began operations in 1991 at 3,000 watts offering a variety of programs and music in an OLD TIME RADIO format which corresponded to the station call letters. In 1993, the station changed to a religious or christian broadcast format featuring Bluegrass Gospel and Southern Gospel Music along with many local church ministries, and was the voice of the South Harrison High School athletic teams for more than 12 years. ,

In 1998 WOTR's power was increased to 6,000 watts. It is licensed to and operates from Lost Creek West Virginia and it's signal serves both the Morgantown, Fairmont, Clarksburg Market, as well as the Weston, Buckhannon, Elkins Market.

Bill unfortunately was also in very poor health, having suffered from diabetes most of his adult life, and on January 7, 2009 he passed away in his sleep of natural causes after a brief illness.

In early February, Steve Peters, owner of WHAW- 980 AM in Weston and WVRW-FM in Glenville, West Virginia - purchased WOTR from Bill Allman's Estate. Peters a Lewis County building contractor is presently upgrading the equipment at WOTR to improve both the sound and strength of the stations signal…and hopes to be on the air in the very near future. The tower and transmitter will remain in Lost Creek, with studios re-locating to the Weston site.

Peters who is also a a singer/songwriter says he plans to continue Bill Allman's dream of filling the needs of many Central West Virginia residents who seek good clean entertainment and businesses who want affordable advertisign rates.

WOTR will continue to provide traditional family programming with a religious theme, presented in a new and different way, featuring more music and less talk with a mix of Bluegrass, Southern Gospel and Inspirational Country music that should appeal to a broad audience.
