About station About News Talk WOWO
WOWO (1190 AM) is a commercial radio station licensed to Fort Wayne, Indiana, United States, serving the Fort Wayne metropolitan area. Currently owned by Federated Media, WOWO carries a talk format.
WOWO's studios are located at the transmitter site for WKJG on Maples Road in Fort Wayne, while the transmitter is sited in Roanoke. Besides its main analog transmission, WOWO used to broadcast over an in-band on-channel HD Radio signal; although it simulcasts over both analog Fort Wayne translator W298BJ (107.5 FM), WFWI (92.3 FM), and the HD2 digital subchannel of WMEE; and streams online with availability on the iHeartRadio platform. WOWO is one of three primary entry point stations for Fort Wayne in the Emergency Alert System. This station historically was a clear-channel station with extended nighttime skywave range from 1941 until 1999; it was downgraded to a Class B AM signal after a 1995 ownership transfer briefly put it under common ownership with WLIB in New York City. WOWO was also the first radio station in the world to broadcast a live basketball game, and the first station to be acquired by Westinghouse Electric Corporation subsidiary Westinghouse Broadcasting, which owned the station from 1936 to 1982. WOWO's call letters are usually phonetically pronounced on-air as "Wo-Wo", rhyming with "go-go."
