WOAC is a full-power television station licensed to Canton, Ohio and serves the entire Cleveland-Akron-Canton, Ohio market area.
WOAC's tower is located in Brimfield, OH right off of I-76.
This station is owned and operated by Multicultural Broadcasting and airs infomercials 24 hours a day.
This station operates on UHF channel 67 at 5,000 kilowatts and has a digital signal on channel 47 also on the UHF dial, licensed to operate at 1,000 kilowatts, however signed a Special Temporary Authority to operate at only 17.3 kilowatts, all by authorization and under the supervision of the Federal Communications Commission.
WOAC began its broadcasting operation on April 23, 1982 and it has been almost a quarter of a century since its inception.
Before becoming a home shopping channel, WOAC operated as an independent TV station serving mainly the Canton area. It featured syndicated reruns, movies, and local news updates.
On May 16, 2006, parent company E.W. Scripps announced that Shop at Home would be suspending operations, effective June 22, 2006. [1] Jewelry Television took over the Shop at Home network operations, and WOAC and other Shop at Home affiliates have been running a combination of programming from the two networks.
On September 26, 2006, Scripps announced that it was selling its Shop at Home stations, including WOAC, to Multicultural Television of New York City for $170 million. [2] The sale of WOAC and the San Francisco and Raleigh stations closed on December 20, 2006. Shortly after Multicultural closed on the deal, all home shopping programming ceased in favor of infomercials.
