WGUC is a public radio station serving Cincinnati, Ohio. It is owned by Cincinnati Public Radio. It broadcasts at 90.9 FM and features classical music. WGUC also has HD Radio capability and broadcasts jazz on WGUC-2. When Cincinnati Public Radio purchased Xavier University's "X-Star Network" (a group of stations headed by WVXU-FM) in 2005, WGUC moved its National Public Radio news and talk programming, including All Things Considered, which had aired on WGUC since the 1970s, to WVXU. The only NPR-produced show still airing on WGUC is the youth classical performance program From the Top, while the news and information programming on WVXU has been expanded from previously. WGUC and WVXU share a building with WCET-TV in central Cincinnati.

WGUC was founded in 1960 by a group of local citizens who wanted a radio station devoted to cultural and public affairs programming; the University of Cincinnati, then a municipally-governed institution, responded to the demand. WGUC was one of the first stations in the nation to meet the Corporation for Public Broadcasting's qualification standards; a charter member of NPR; and a founder of another network, American Public Radio (now Public Radio International). WGUC also had one of the first NPR satellite uplinks, the first digital west-to-east transatlantic broadcast, and is the only U.S. public radio station with an ongoing program to commission new music. In 2003, WGUC became the first public radio station in Ohio to broadcast a digital HD Radio signal. In June 2005, WGUC became one of the first stations in the nation to receive FCC authorization to experiment with FM multicasting. In 2006, the station added a second digital channel of full-time jazz music (formerly heard over the air on WVXU), along with a classical music service on its primary digital channel.

In 1994, UC decided to discontinue holding the station's license; it transferred WGUC to an ad hoc community non-profit group, Cincinnati Public Radio, Inc.
