1570 WPTW – The Voice of Miami County

About WPTW

WPTW recently celebrated its 62nd year on the air as the voice of Miami County, Ohio. And while other broadcasting endeavors have come and gone during that period, 1570 WPTW AM survives and continues to evolve and grow as the county's radio station.

Located at 1625 Covington Avenue, in Piqua, Ohio, WPTW is indeed the community's radio station, serving the five-county area...comprehensive in its service of providing national and local news, yet small enough to serve the particular needs of those area communitites who rely on the station as a trusted resource. Miami County depends on WPTW to profile its activities, its businesses and just as importantly, its youth and future generations through the station's aggressive schedule of local high school sports broadcasts.

WPTW is an equal-opportunity employer and welcomes the comments and participation of its listeners and advertisers.
