WNUR-FM 89.3

Chicago's Sound Experiment / Tune in at 89.3FM and wnur.org WNUR also streams on the Web to listeners around the world.

WNUR is a non-commercial, listener-supported radio station broadcasting at a frequency of 89.3 MHz FM and a power of 7200 watts. The WNUR studios are located in Louis Hall, on the campus of Northwestern University in Evanston, IL, and the station produces a signal that can be heard by nearly 3 million potential listeners throughout Chicagoland. WNUR is licensed to Northwestern University and its o

perations are subject to the authority and oversight of Northwestern University’s Board of Trustees and its Officers. Through its programming, WNUR strives to provide a forum for underrepresented music and ideas. By pursuing the cultural, intellectual, and artistic aspects of radio, WNUR promotes musicians, musical genres, news, public affairs issues, and athletic events often overlooked by major media outlets. Additionally, because it is completely independent of commercial pressures, WNUR has the opportunity to provide unique and challenging programming to the Northwestern, Evanston, and Chicago communities no matter how unpopular or controversial. Although WNUR is student-run, its roster of DJs comprises both students and members of the WNUR community.

If you've been wondering when Phoneathon is going to be... today is your lucky day! We are excited to announce that from April 16th-25th, WNUR will be hosting our annual fundraiser, Phoneathon.

Phoneathon ensures that our station, along with its 400+ students and staff, can continue to be a voice and guiding light for underrepresented tastes, and to be a place where generations of Northwestern students can form friendships lasting a lifetime.

Of course, this year has presented the station, as well as most organizations, with never-before-seen challenges. Louis Hall, the Northwestern building that houses the station, was closed for most of the Spring and Summer of 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Throughout this period, student exec members were charged with remotely uploading and scheduling shows, a tedious and time-consuming task due to the station’s outdated scheduling system that was never meant to fully take the place of in-person broadcasting. Thankfully, due to a successful Phoneathon the year before, we were able to implement new software that greatly improved remote broadcasts, as well as software that allowed students without equipment to make their shows at home on computers.

As a limited number of students and faculty were welcomed back in the Fall, the sound of WNUR has slowly creeped back to its normal sound. Although our passion for the station remains, both student and Community DJs continue to feel the isolation that has prevented us from all being together. We hope that in the past year, hearing WNUR on the airwaves has given our listeners a little bit of peace and hope. Without dedicated support from our community of listeners, we would not be able to provide the diverse, delightful programming that we all love.

Stay tuned for more info!!!
