NewsTalk 93.9 & 1490 WOSH

📖 About

NewsTalk 93.9 & 1490 WOSH (WOSH) is a heritage commercial news and talk radio station licensed to Oshkosh, Wisconsin, serving the greater Appleton–Oshkosh and Fox River Valley market. Originally signing on the air in 1941, WOSH holds a long and storied broadcast history in the region, which included an early pioneering stint operating a UHF television sister station (WOSH-TV) during the 1950s. After operating under alternative formats and call letters (such as WYTL) during parts of the late 20th century, the historic WOSH call sign was proudly reinstated to the 1490 AM frequency in 1984, paving the way for its modern news and talk programming format. The station features an engaging blend of local news updates, community affairs programming, and heavy-hitting nationally syndicated talk shows. Listeners tune in weekday mornings for signature local programming like The WOSH Morning Show, alongside prominent national programs including The Dan Bongino Show, backed by trusted news updates from ABC News Radio, Fox News Radio, and Westwood One. In addition to its staple talk format, WOSH serves as a local sports broadcasting outlet, carrying regional sporting events such as Wisconsin Timber Rattlers baseball, making it a comprehensive community hub for local listeners. Owned and operated by Cumulus Media, WOSH broadcasts with 1,000 watts of power on its AM frequency and expands its reach through an FM translator (93.9 W230DB), significantly improving nighttime and mobile reception across the Fox Cities. Operating out of Cumulus Media's regional studios in Oshkosh, the station is widely accessible through traditional radio receivers, official web streaming portals, and mobile applications. Through decades of evolution, NewsTalk WOSH remains a cornerstone of local opinion, news coverage, and regional engagement in eastern Wisconsin.
