Improving Your Reception of WOSU Radio
WOSU was the first radio station in Columbus to "go digital" with 89.7 FM. This "HD" digital radio service provided through HD Radios provides crystal clear digital reception of 89.7 NPR News at HD-channel 1 and Classical 101 at HD-channel 2 in central Ohio.
WOSU has invested in digital transmitters for it regional stations in Marion, Mansfield, Coshocton and Portsmouth to provide HD Radio service including the all-classical service on HD Radio at channel 1 and NPR News at HD Channel 2.
Where Can I Listen to Classical 101?
- If you live in Columbus, tune into 101.1 FM (Grove City/Columbus).
- If you live in the northern part of the Columbus area or in Marion, tune into 91.1 FM.
- If you live into Coshocton, tune into 91.1 FM,
- If you live in Portsmouth, tune into 91.5 FM.
- If you live in Mansfield, tune into 91.7 FM.
Additionally, Classical 101 can also be heard with an HD Radio in Columbus on 89.7 HD2. You can also listen to our audio streams online, or by using native applications on iPhone or Android devices.
Is there anything I can do to improve my reception?
- Try moving the radio to the side of the room or building closest pointing south toward Grove City (this is where the tower is).
- Use a dipole antenna, which you can purchase at a retail outlet such as Best Buy or Radio Shack. Place in or near a window facing south toward Grove City.
- If that doesn’t work, try buying a powered indoor antenna. These are sold at various stores (e.g., Radio Shack, Best Buy, Target, Wal Mart).
- If that doesn’t work, you will need to try an external (outdoor) antenna in the attic or on the roof. This may help.

After trying the tips above, what if I still can’t get reception?
