For 25 years, the WONB radio station has allowed Ohio Northern University students to find their voice. The station, an integral part of the University’s multidiscipline learning experience, is marking its silver anniversary this fall.
The first broadcast over the air took place at 9:49 a.m. on Oct. 18, 1991. The time was intentional to pay tribute to the station’s frequency of 94.9 FM. The station, which is located in the Freed Center for the Performing Arts and is part of the Department of Communication and Media Studies, provides students of all majors with valuable experience while also serving the region.
