WOUB debuted in 1942 as WOUI, a carrier current station broadcasting from Ewing Hall on the Ohio University campus. It became a fully licensed FM station, signing on the air on December 13, 1949. On July 10, 1959, it changed its call sign to WOUB-FM.
In its early years, it aired educational programs and classical music. Many of the voices were students or staff at the university. In 1963, WOUB-TV channel 20 made its debut. WOUB-FM later became a member of National Public Radio and added its news and music shows to its line up.
