WNNF (94.1 FM) is a radio station with a country music format in Cincinnati, Ohio, United States. The station is owned by Cumulus Media. Its studios are located in North Cincinnati and the transmitter site is just northeast of downtown.
The station started in 1955, and in the early 1970s, switched to a Top 40/Oldies format. In 1976, the station became WSAI-FM and played Rock n Roll. In 1981, the station changed to a country format, and became WKXF ("Kix 94.1"). In 1985, the station briefly changed to a Top 40 format as "K-Rock 94" before switching to Adult Contemporary WWNK ("Wink 94.1") in 1986. This lasted until September 1997, when WVMX ("Mix 94.1") made its debut with a hot adult contemporary format that was patterned after then-sister station WMVX in Cleveland. In 2006, the station started leaning towards Rhythmic AC after the station had begun carrying Whoopi Goldberg's Wake Up With Whoopi show. The station became "Radio 94.1" at Noon on September 10, 2007, changed call letters to WNNF and dropped Goldberg's show as the station flipped to Modern AC. The first song on "Radio" was "Possession" by Sarah McLachlan. On August 1, 2008, then-owners Clear Channel put WNNF up for sale, along with sister station WOFX, to settle regulatory issues involved with the company's sale to private equity firms. On January 3, 2009, Cumulus Media was chosen as a buyer and swapped 5 of their radio stations in Wisconsin to make this transaction complete.
