WUBE-FM (105.1 FM) is a radio station broadcasting a Country music format. Licensed to Cincinnati, Ohio, USA, the station serves the Cincinnati area. The station is currently owned by Bonneville Holding Company.[2][3] The station is also broadcast on HD radio.[4]
WUBE hosts the "Free Music Stage" At Taste of Cincinnati and Jammin' in the Country in neighboring Clermont County. Both events bring national known country music artists as well as local and emerging artists to the Tri-State area.
On January 18, 2007, almost as soon as it entered the Cincinnati radio market, current owner Entercom Communications announced its exit from the market by trading its entire Cincinnati cluster, including WUBE, to Bonneville International together with three radio stations in Seattle, Washington for all three of Bonneville's FM radio stations in San Francisco, California and $1 million cash. [1] In May 2007, Bonneville officially took over control of the Cincinnati radio cluster through a local marketing agreement, with Bonneville acquiring Entercom's remaining interest in the stations outright on March 14, 2008. WUBE was one of the winners in the in 2008 NAB Crystal Radio Awards.[5]
On January 19, 2011, it was announced that Bonneville International will sell WUBE and several other stations to Hubbard Broadcasting for $505 million[6].
