WARH (106.5 MHz "106.5 The Arch") is a commercial FM radio station licensed to Granite City, Illinois and serving Greater St. Louis including sections of Illinois and Missouri. WARH is owned by Hubbard Broadcasting and airs an Adult Hits radio format. The studios and offices are in Creve Coeur, Missouri (although a St. Louis address is used). The transmitter is located near Resurrection Cemetery off Mackenzie Road in St. Louis.

"106.5 The Arch" using the primary slogan "You never know what we're going to play next." The station's name pays tribute to the iconic Gateway Arch monument in Downtown St. Louis on the western bank of the Mississippi River. The format is musically similar to the syndicated Jack FM stations in the U.S. & Canada. However, "The Arch" uses a live and local DJ staff around the clock, whereas "Jack" stations are for the most part automated with no live voices.

WARH broadcasts in HD. The HD1 signal carries the adult hits format. WARH-HD2 carries co-owned KTMY from Minneapolis, known as "My Talk Radio." Before March 2017, it featured less familiar rock songs from the 60's to the present, branded as "106-5 The Deep." WARH-HD3 carries "The Mormon Channel," supplied by its former owners, Bonneville International.
