WVHU is a talk radio station in the Huntington, West Virginia market. Its offerings are similar to other news talk stations owned by Clear Channel Communications, as it is the home for Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity. The station also carries live play-by-play of Cincinnati Reds and the Cincinnati Bengals.

Previously, rival station WRVC, carried the Reds and Limbaugh, until Clear Channel acquired the station and moved the programming. WVHU is simulcasted, except for a few high school football games, on WIRO in Ironton, Ohio, located to the west of Huntington, and on WZZW, located to the east in Milton, West Virginia and covering the Teays Valley area. This gives the station the range of a more powerful station.

In recent years the station has led the market in AM radio listenership.
