WMRN (AM)


WMRN is a radio station broadcasting a news talk information format. Licensed to Marion, Ohio, United States, the station serves the Mid-Ohio area. The station is owned by iHeartMedia, Inc. and licensed as Citicasters Licenses, L.P. and features programming from Fox News Radio and Premiere Networks.
The station was launched December 23, 1940. As the first station to broadcast from Marion, WMRN has traditionally been viewed as Marion County's "home" radio station.
In May 1953, WMRN's owners launched an FM sister station WMRN-FM which played "Beautiful Music" format until its format was converted to Country & Western on April 1 1981. Clear Channel Communications separated the AM operations from the FM station, and then sold WMRN-AM to its current owner.
As of summer 2019, WMRN's schedule consists primarily of talk programming syndicated by Premiere Networks. Following the June 2019 retirement of longtime local host Jeff Ruth, WMRN airs virtually no locally produced regularly-scheduled programming, save for local news bulletins.
