WKBV

WKBV (1490 AM) is a radio station broadcasting a sports format to the Richmond, Indiana, United States, area.

Local programs include, Indiana State Fair Band Day, the Salvation Army Christmas, and High School Sports.

In 1929, the station moved to the Betsy Ross Building in Connersville; its first regular programming began with six hours a day.

In 1943, a group of local businessmen formed the Central Broadcasting Corporation and moved the station to the Leland Hotel Annex in Richmond.

This is where RHS grad turned Radio-TV Star Polly Bergen did her first 15-minute show auditioning for WKBV.

Local news updates are provided throughout the day, and weather is supplied by Dayton's WDTN-TV Channel 2.
