The Ohio News Network (ONN) – also referred to as ONN Radio – is a radio news service in the U.S. state of Ohio. Based at Columbus, Ohio radio station WBNS-FM and owned by the Tegna Inc. subsidiary of Nexstar Media Group, it provides statewide newscasts and sportscasts for almost 90 affiliate stations throughout the day, in addition to some seasonal long-form programming.
ONN has its origins as a cable news channel of the same name, which operated from 1996 to 2012 in more than 1.8 million households statewide. Its studios and offices are co-located with sister station WBNS-TV, the CBS television affiliate for Columbus and central Ohio. On July 25, 2012, ONN television announced it would be ceasing operations due to changing consumer habits, effective August 31, while ONN Radio would remain in service. ONN closed at 12:00 with the last programming being a farewell looking at the history of ONN.
ONN is regularly awarded for its outstanding news and programs regionally and nationally. In 2009, ONN received nine awards in the Ohio Associated Press contest including: Outstanding Sports Operation; Best Regularly Scheduled Sports; and Best Anchor Mike Kallmeyer. ONN was the runner-up for Outstanding News Operation in Ohio. In 2008, ONN was presented the Emmy Award for Station Excellence in local programming to station managers Tom Griesdorn and Jason Pheister.

Regular segments include sports, weather, business, environmental, political, and health. A special in-depth report on a topic of statewide interest is featured each Thursday night during Ohio's 9 o'clock news. ONN's "Weather on the 10's" is a statewide weather update every 10 minutes.
Capital Square is the longest running political television program in Ohio. The show offers discussion of government in Ohio and Washington, D.C. Capitol Square regularly features the top newsmakers, who are questioned by moderator Jim Heath. Capital Square was once a Sunday fixture for WBNS-TV in the 1990s until it moved to ONN.
ONN also includes election updates throughout the state on major election days or for emergency voting that affects a large portion of the state.
