WEUS (810 AM) is a radio station that was broadcasting ABC Radio's True Oldies format from 01/2006 - 06/2008, before a recent change in ownership and format. Licensed to Orlovista, Florida with studios in Altamonte Springs, it serves the Orlando area. The station was originally owned by the Star Development Group. New ownership is believed to be Communicom Corporation, based in Denver, CO.

Signing on in January 2006, WEUS is one of the United States' newest full-powered AM radio stations below the expanded band (1600 kHz and under). WEUS went on the air with an oldies format, filling a void created when Clear Channel's WEBG flipped from oldies to a Spanish-language format over a year earlier. WEUS was running the Scott Shannon's "True Oldies Channel" format via satellite through automation. As of June 1, 2008 the station has changed ownership, as well as formats. The new ownership is now running a religious format in place of the syndicated oldies format. As such, the station's original big810.com website has also been taken offline.

WEUS was also the flagship station for Mike Harvey's syndicated Supergold program, which is based in Orlando.
