WMOI (97.7 FM) is a radio station broadcasting an adult contemporary format. Licensed to Monmouth, Illinois, the station serves the Monmouth/Galesburg area. WMOI is owned by Robbins-Treat Resources, LLC.

History[edit]

The station began broadcasting December 2, 1967 and held the call sign WVPC-FM.[1][2] In the 1970s, WVPC-FM aired a MOR format, along with an increasing amount of country music programming.[1][4][5] The station was an affiliate of the Mutual Broadcasting System.[1][4][5] In 1977, the station's call sign was changed to WDRL, and in 1981 its call sign was changed to WMOI.[2][3]

On October 3, 2018, WPW Broadcasting announced a sale of their Monmouth stations WMOI, WRAM, and WRAM's translator at 94.1, to Monmouth-based Robbins-Treat Resources, LLC for $168,000.[6][7] The sale was consummated on December 28, 2018.
