WOUB AM 1340

A public radio station owned and operated by Ohio University, broadcasting at 1340 kHz on the AM dial. Unlike the university's FM counterpart, the AM outlet functions primarily as a community radio station, with programming tailored to the residents of Athens County and the surrounding region. Its schedule includes alternative music programming alongside international news supplied by the BBC, and the station remains on the air daily from 6 a.m. to midnight. As part of Ohio University's public media operation, the station reflects a mission of community service rather than commercial broadcasting, offering a mix of local and national content distinct from what its FM sibling carries. The station's news coverage addresses local and state-level issues, including municipal affairs, higher education matters, and regional governance. Sports coverage tied to Ohio University athletics also features in the station's programming mix. Cultural programming, covering local arts and music, rounds out the schedule, positioning the outlet as a resource for both information and cultural engagement within the Appalachian Ohio region. Licensed under the call letters WOUB, the station is assigned FCC Facility ID 50145 and is listed in Nielsen Audio's AM station database. The station has operated continuously as part of the Ohio University media ecosystem, which also includes television and digital properties under the WOUB umbrella.
