WBUT (1050 AM) is a commercial radio station, licensed to Butler, Pennsylvania, in the northern suburbs of the Pittsburgh metropolitan area. It is owned by St. Barnabas Broadcasting, a division of the Saint Barnabas Health System, along with its sister stations WJAS, WBVP, WMBA, WISR and WLER-FM.
WBUT carries a classic country radio format, along with local news, sports and weather.

By day, WBUT transmits with 500 watts. As 1050 AM is a clear channel frequency, the station must reduce power at night to 62 watts to avoid interference. Programming is also heard on 250-watt FM translator W247DF at 97.3 MHz.[2] WBUT also streams via the TuneIn app.
