DOI Radio Hoxland

DOI Radio Hoxland (official callsign LTNG) is a private commercial radio station in Hoxland, it is a part of the DOI Radio network.

Launch
The station first launched as Lightning Radio on AM and FM on January 18th 1976, it broadcast from a detached house near a campsite (Not a very common choice for a licensed radio station's headquarters, is it?). Aidan Roberts was the first voice heard on the station, and the first jingles heard were resings of Emison's Beacon Radio package by Supersound, which had jingles inspired by JAM Creative Productions' Magic Music.

Promotional Mascot
The promotional mascot for the station was Lighty the Lighting Bolt, being a sentient lightning bolt with red gloves, inspired by Musicradio WABC's musical notes, he was used on many adverts for the station from 1976 to 1989, he also had a girlfriend named Lightanna, who has a similar appearance to Lighty but with magenta gloves and a magenta bow, she only appeared on adverts for the station promoting holidays or special events. Lighty and Lightanna both had their own animated TV show named Lighty and Lightanna's Electric Adventures, which ran from 1985 to 1987 on LTNG-TV.

Lighty and Lightanna inspired many other stations in the Laotianlands to make promotional mascots, one of which was Radio Pendulum, who had a sentient pendulum clock named Penelope the Pendulum Clock, aswell as Radio Rocky with a sentient music note similar to those of WABC. (see Radio station mascots in the Laotianlands)

AM and FM services split
In 1989, after moving it's headquarters to the Hoxland City Centre, Lightning Radio would split it's AM and FM frequencies into 2 services, with the AM service becoming the rock music station Lightning AM, and the original Top 40 service continued on FM as Lightning FM, Lighty and Lightanna were both dropped as the promotional mascots as a result, but continued listening to the station for many more years. Lightning AM would get acquired by Aries Radio Group in 1996 and turned into an FM station named "Greater FM" with the callsign GRTR-FM.

Rebrand to DOI Radio
In 2009, Lightning FM along with many other FM radio stations nationwide were sold to Corporal plc, and 2 years later, the station would rebrand to DOI Radio Hoxland to line up with many of the other DOI Radio stations in the country, the local feed would merge with many other DOI Radio feeds in the east of the Laotianlands to form a regional feed in 2017, with plans on merging all of the regional feeds into a national feed soon.
