WLW serves as the Cincinnati affiliate for ABC News Radio and as a flagship station for the Cincinnati Bengals and Cincinnati Reds radio networks. It is also the home of radio personality

In July 1921, radio manufacturer Powel Crosley Jr. began tests from his 20-wattCollege Hill home “station”, broadcasting
“Song of India” continuously under the call sign 8CR.[2] Powell already owned a number of enterprises including theCrosmobile, and a refrigerator-freezer
company. He owned the Cincinnati Redsbaseball club from 1934 to 1961. Crosley was innovative, personally inventing, or funding the development of, many then–cutting edge technological advances related to his ventures. He placed these in the able hands of his younger brother (by two years) Lewis, who was a graduate engineer from the University of Cincinnati.
