oWOW Radio, stylized and marketed as oWOW! Radio or oWOW! Cleveland, was a commercial internet radio station based in Cleveland, Ohio, United States, that primarily served Greater Cleveland and surrounding Northeast Ohio. Independently owned by Wow Media, LLC, the station streamed an adult album alternative (AAA) format promoted as "timeless rock" and was co-founded and programmed by veteran radio executive/consultant John Gorman.
Launched first as a website in 2014, oWOW Radio made its streaming debut on February 20, 2015, with studios and offices at the 78th Street Studios complex in Cleveland's Detroit–Shoreway neighborhood. Due to expenses exceeding revenue for years, and then the economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic both regionally and nationally, oWOW Radio announced its shutdown in September 2020, dropped all on-air staff on October 2, 2020, and ceased operations entirely on January 17, 2021.
