Woof Boom Radio is a privately held company that believes in the importance of local radio. The company considers local radio at its best when it is locally owned, operated, and programmed. This is the core of the Woof Boom vision—we use our voice to build and connect the community.
The company was founded in 2013 to give local communities control over the radio they listen to. Starting with six radio stations in East Central Indiana, Woof Boom has expanded, opening a new market in Lafayette, Indiana, and adding five stations in Lima, Ohio. Today, Woof Boom connects with its listeners by broadcasting over 16 signals licensed to 7 communities and has five studios and business offices.
The company’s culture is value-based and central to supporting its employees, some of whom have worked at the same station for over 50 years. Whether it is a long-time employee or the newest member of the team, Woof Boom employees aim to make their cities, towns, and homes better places through the company’s work.
In June 2024, Woof Boom was awarded the National Association of Broadcasters Leadership Foundation’s Service to America Award for its community service work. Woof Boom Radio stations have also been Spectrum Award winners (Indiana Broadcasters Association) and a NAB Crystal Award recipient.
