Cincy Radio: Happy Birthday B-105

Cincinnati’s B-105, a heritage country radio station, is celebrating an impressive milestone: it’s turning 55 years old today

Despite the ever-changing landscape of radio, B-105 has stood the test of time by embracing authenticity and evolution. Their commitment to live and local programming sets them apart in an era where such practices are increasingly rare12. The station’s personalities, like the Big Dave Show, have become familiar voices for listeners over the years.

Reflecting on their journey, the B-105 team acknowledges that they’ve had their share of memorable moments. For instance, APD/afternoon host Jesse Tack recalls an amusing incident during an artist interview. Mistaking the band Brothers Osborne for A Thousand Horses, he swiftly deleted the recording and hoped it would vanish into thin air. But fate had other plans, as the Brothers Osborne themselves playfully reminded him of his slip-up later on1.

Hubbard Broadcasting, which owns B-105, places a strong emphasis on talent, resources, and community engagement. They believe in investing, allowing people to learn and grow, and putting the right individuals in the right roles. B-105’s connection with the Cincinnati community runs deep, making it feel like more than just a radio station. Whether serving food at high school football games or engaging with listeners, B-105 fosters a sense of belonging and community spirit1.
