WCBE (90.5 FM) is a public radio station in Columbus, Ohio that began broadcasting in 1956.[1] The WCBE call sign represents the station's licensee, the Columbus Board of Education (Columbus City Schools).
The station was originally housed in the Columbus Normal School building, but moved to the Columbus Public Schools headquarters at 270 E. State Street in downtown Columbus, and then relocated to the historic Fort Hayes educational campus in 1992.[2][3] The station's tower is located on top of LeVeque Tower in downtown Columbus and is simulcast on 13 watt FM translator W292EA at 106.3 MHz in Newark, Ohio.[4]
