WBOW was a radio station on 1230 AM in Terre Haute, Indiana, which broadcast between 1927 and 2001.

In the early 1990s, the WBOW intellectual unit moved to a new 640 AM facility. The 1230 AM facility then became WBFX, WZZQ and WBUZ, closing down when its licensee, Contemporary Media, Inc., had all of its licenses cancelled in response to a Federal Communications Commission investigation.
