WREW (94.9 FM, "Mix 94.9") is a radio station broadcasting an Adult Hits/Rhythmic AC format. Licensed to the suburb of Fairfield, Ohio, it serves the Cincinnati, Ohio metropolitan area. The station is currently owned by Hubbard Broadcasting. Its studios are located just northeast of Downtown Cincinnati and the transmitter site is in Finneytown, Ohio.
The station first began broadcasting in 1962 under the call sign WFOL-FM, licensed to Fairfield, Ohio, and aired a "beautiful music" format. They became WCNW-FM in 1965, sister to then Country-formatted WCNW (1560 AM). Beautiful music returned to the frequency in the mid 1970s as WLVV-FM "Love 95."
The frequency was sold off to Heftel Broadcasting in 1980, becoming WYYS-FM "Yes 95" with a Top 40-Rock format. The format changed within a year to soft rock under the same call letters and handle before becoming WLLT-FM "Lite 95" in 1983. In 1988, WOFX-FM "The Fox" replaced WLLT-FM, airing Classic rock. In September 1995, the WOFX call letters, format and intellectual properties were bought by Jacor and moved to 92.5 FM, with 94.9 becoming WVAE-FM "The Wave", and flipped to smooth jazz.
