WIMT (102.1 FM, "American Country T102") is a commercial FM radio station licensed to Lima, Ohio, operating at 102.1 MHz with a country music format. Its studios and offices are located on West Market Street in Lima, with its transmitter located just outside Buckland, between Wapakoneta and Lima.

Early history[]

Originally WIMA-FM was a simulcast of WIMA (AM) until 1973 when FM programming became separate as "Country Lovin' WIMA-FM." At first the format was automated and in mono but switched to stereo and live personalities in 1979. It became known briefly as WIQA "Q-102" in 1981 but switched again one year later to the present call letters. T-102 was once home to the 9th ranked best on-air personality in the United States, Gordy Price (1949-2009). His style is still used on this station to this day.
