WFAL Falcon Radio is a commercial internet radio station run by students of Bowling Green State University in Bowling Green, Ohio, broadcasting exclusively online. WFAL Falcon Radio is overseen by faculty from Bowling Green State University's School of Mass Communications. In addition to being available online, the station is simulcast via cable radio throughout Northwestern Ohio on Spectrum Cable channel 21.

While operating as a commercial entity since 2008,[1] the station is not licensed by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and has roots in a now-defunct unlicensed carrier current AM station that launched in 1970, from which the unofficial "WFAL" call sign was derived. Unlike licensed station WBGU (88.1 FM), which is also owned and operated by the university, WFAL Falcon Radio is primarily used for students wishing to pursue jobs in the radio and communications industry.
