WOEN (1360 AM) is a radio station that broadcasts a country music format, simulcasting sister station WZKZ in Alfred. Licensed to Olean, New York, United States, the station serves the Olean area. The station is owned by Sound Communications, LLC.[1][2]

The station was formerly known as WMNS until ca. 2000 when the station changed to its current calls. For most of the mid-2000s until the end of 2011, WOEN was the Olean affiliate of The Rush Limbaugh Show; that show moved to WVTT in 2012. Among other affiliations the station carried were with ABC Radio Networks' talk network, the CBS Radio Network, the WOR Radio Network, and Talk Radio Network. The station switched to the WGGO simulcast in September 2013 (at the time both carried adult standards/oldies formats); in 2016, both stations flipped to talk, this time with Salem Radio Network providing the content. WOEN continued operating after WGGO was knocked off air in March 2017.

On March 21, 2018, shortly after WGGO returned to air, WOEN flipped from talk to country, simulcasting WZKZ. The station also began broadcasting on translator W242CT at 96.3 MHz.
