Welcome to the WMRN Radio History Archive

The WMRN Radio History Archive is a historical preservation project dedicated to documenting the legacy of WMRN (AM 1490) and WMRN-FM in Marion, Ohio.

Founded in 1940, WMRN has served north-central Ohio for generations through news, music, sports, and community service. This archive preserves that story through photographs, documents, recordings, ephemera, and original research.

Materials are collected from public records, private collections, and firsthand accounts for educational and historical purposes.
