WKBN (570 kHz) is a commercial AM radio station in Youngstown, Ohio. It has a news/talk format and is owned by iHeartMedia, Inc. The studios and offices are on South Avenue in Youngstown.

WKBN is powered at 5,000 watts from a six-tower array on East Western Reserve and Beard roads in Poland, Ohio. By day, it operates a non-directional signal from a single tower. Due to its location near the bottom of the AM dial, as well as its transmitter power, its daytime signal can be heard at city-grade strength from Cleveland to Pittsburgh, and provides at least secondary coverage to Erie, Pennsylvania, most of the Northern Panhandle of West Virginia, much of north-central Ohio and even a section of Southern Ontario. At night, power is fed to all six towers in a directional pattern to protect other stations on 570 AM, concentrating the signal in Youngstown and Pittsburgh.
