WUBE-FM (105.1 FM) is a radio station broadcasting a country music format. Licensed to Cincinnati, Ohio, USA, the station serves the Cincinnati area. The station is currently owned by Hubbard Broadcasting. The station is also broadcast on HD radio and airs a separate country format on its HD-2 side channel. Its studios and transmitter are located just northeast of Downtown Cincinnati two blocks from one another.
WUBE hosts the "Free Music Stage" At Taste of Cincinnati and Jammin' in the Country in neighboring Clermont County. Both events bring national known country music artists as well as local and emerging artists to the Tri-State area.
The station was originally known as WCPO-FM, owned by E.W. Scripps Company, owner of the Cincinnati Post, along with WCPO (1230 AM, now WDBZ) and WCPO-TV (channel 9). One of the WCPO-FM announcers identified the frequency in the legal ID as 10-51 (ten-fifty-one) which was unique at the time. A video with audio of a WCPO-FM legal ID can be seen on YouTube.
On January 18, 2007, almost as soon as it entered the Cincinnati radio market, Entercom Communications announced its exit from the market by trading its entire Cincinnati cluster, including WUBE, to Bonneville International together with three radio stations in Seattle, Washington, for all three of Bonneville's FM radio stations in San Francisco, California, and $1 million cash. In May 2007, Bonneville officially took over control of the Cincinnati radio cluster through a local marketing agreement, with Bonneville acquiring Entercom's remaining interest in the stations outright on March 14, 2008. WUBE was one of the winners in the 2008 NAB Crystal Radio Awards.
