Impact Radio LLC’s duo of Classic Rock “B-Rock 100.9” WBNO and Classic Hits “Q96.5” 1520 WQCT/W243DP Bryan OH lost their studios over the holiday weekend as a fire broke out in the building overnight on Saturday, May 24 taking the stations off-the-air.

The Village Reporter reports that the fire started around 4:00am with the building unoccupied at the time. It took responders from six towns to put out the blaze, with the building deemed a total loss.

The station wrote on Facebook, “By now most of NW Ohio has heard the news. Our work home suffered a devastating fire last night that has left the building and our hearts completely gutted. It is for all intents and purposes a total loss. Thankfully nobody was in the building when the fire broke out so the best news we can report is nobody was injured. B Rock and Q 96.5 and 1520 AM have been the heartbeat of the community since the 1960s and many of us that have worked there have called the building a second home for 10,20,30 plus years so are shattered by this fire. We are family and that family extends to listeners,advertisers,schools,non profit organizations and many more. You have built us and kept us going for over 60 plus years and we are so grateful and so thankful for all of you. The love that we have felt in the hours since the fire has been overwhelming. So to all of you that texted or called or emailed or posted on social media…thank you so very much!! The next question now is where do we go from here and what do we do next? Well we have been in touch,of course,with our amazing owner and we are so happy to tell you that we are going to rebuild!! We aren’t going anywhere!! The road may be long and the journey may be a long and winding road(apologies to the Beatles) but B Rock and The Q means too much to all of us. Now what that looks like on what time table,well we just don’t know yet. But stay tuned!! We know that we can count on NW Ohio for love and support because that’s what we do here in our corner of the world. We are there for each other in tough times. So follow this page. Share this page. Get others following this page. And that includes the Q 96.5 page too. Thank you again from all of us at B Rock and Q 96.5. From these ashes,we will rise again. Bigger and better than ever before.”
