Radio AAHS was a radio network owned and operated by the Children's Broadcasting Corporation.

The flagship station of the format was WWTC (1280 AM) in Minneapolis, from where network programming originated at the former First Federal Bank building[2] in St. Louis Park at Minnesota State Highway 100 and Excelsior Boulevard. At its height in 1996, Radio AAHS had 29 affiliates across the U.S. CBC founder Christopher Dahl had acquired WWTC in 1990 to create a format consisting largely of music for children,[3] specifically targeted at 5 to 10 year olds.[4] The format included songs from child-oriented films, but also created a niche for songs recorded specifically to entertain children. The programming was driven, in large part, by listener requests, and many of the choices were little known outside that audience.
