WOUB Public Media

WOUB Public Media is a nonprofit public service media organization based at Ohio University in Athens, Ohio, serving southeastern Ohio and parts of West Virginia and Kentucky. Ohio University holds the licenses through the WOUB Center for Public Media, a non-academic unit of the Scripps College of Communication. Its mission is to inform, educate and connect the communities it serves through trusted journalism and storytelling across radio, television and digital platforms.

WOUB-TV (channel 20), on the air since January 7, 1963, and its satellite WOUC-TV (channel 44) in Cambridge carry PBS programming over seven broadcast channels, and unlike most PBS stations WOUB produces a regular local newscast with university students. WOUB Radio's FM network broadcasts NPR news, cultural programs and locally produced Americana, alternative and bluegrass music from transmitters in Athens (91.3), Cambridge, Ironton, Chillicothe and Zanesville, and WOUB AM 1340, on the air since 1957, serves Athens with talk, sports and music. WOUB also serves as a laboratory for Ohio University students interested in broadcasting and media production.

WOUB is based at 35 S. College Street in Athens. Hiring runs through Ohio University's human resources and job portal, with roles in journalism, production, engineering, development and administration; the station publishes an annual EEO report and staff biographies.
