WCIN is an AM radio station in Cincinnati, Ohio established in 1953. It operates at 4300 watts during the day and 300 watts at night. Called "The Pulse of the City", WCIN provided programming for the African-American community of the tri-state area until May 17, 2007, except for a brief time in the 1990s, when it broadcast classical music.

In January 2006, the station was placed up for auction to settle a $954,679 judgment against J4 Broadcasting and owner John Thomas. On May 15, Bob Cox of St. Louis, Missouri was appointed successor receiver by the federal district court. Two days later, after a stunt in which the station broadcast nothing but a simulated heartbeat and on the hourly station ID, listeners would hear: "You asked for it, and prayed for it... Coming soon", the station switched to a smooth jazz format.

WCIN's format is delivered via satellite from Jones Radio Networks. It is one of the few AM stations in the United States featuring the smooth jazz format, and is the first smooth-jazz station in Cincinnati since WVAE 94.9 FM dropped it in 1999 to become WMOJ.
