REWIND
102.9
The hits that built a generation — classic rock, pop, and the songs you never stopped loving. Streaming live from Van Wert, Ohio.
Van Wert's own station.
Licensed on March 27, 2024, Rewind 102.9 was built for Van Wert — a station that plays the songs your community actually grew up on, not a syndicated playlist handed down from a corporate tower two states away.
The full story of how Rewind 102.9 came to be — what it means for Van Wert, who it serves, and where it's headed — will be told here in the station's own words.
Community radio means accountability — to the listeners who've lived here their whole lives, to the businesses that keep this town running, and to the next generation coming up behind us. Rewind 102.9 is built on that principle.

Community Investment
Training the next generation.
Rewind 102.9 partners with Van Wert High School to bring students inside a working radio station. Through a hands-on job-shadowing program, Jim Crocker opens the studio to young people who want to understand broadcasting from the inside — before they ever step onto a college campus.
This isn't a tour. Students sit in on live programming, see how a station operates day-to-day, and leave with real experience. For a community radio station, that's what local ownership looks like.
A community radio station should invest in its community.
