Welcome to 89.7 WNKU...A Fresh Alternative to Cincinnati Radio.

Based at Northern Kentucky University, we play a non-commercial mix of rock ‘n roll, indie, soul, news, blues, & more. We’re not your father’s college radio station. We’re professionals enjoying adult alternative rock, backed by NPR, BBC and WNKU news, folk, bluegrass, and Celtic music, too. That’s WNKU in a nutshell, fresh public radio with an alternative beat serving greater Cincinnati with music and more.  Click the “Listen Live” button on the left to hear what’s happening on WNKU right now! And, Tell a Friend!
