The Fog ("Just the fog" on Facebook) joined us in-studio at WAYO for a live session on Sunday 3/17/24 hosted by WAYO's own Dave Ziebarth (host of Jump Blues, Tuesdays 8-10pm). Apologies for the delay in the camera switchover, the in-studio view starts at about 1:45.
Update (Thurs 3/21): the boil water notice has been lifted.
The only thing that's missing from this photo is YOU!!!
WAYO's mission is to highlight local arts and culture by bringing new sounds and underrepresented voices to the Rochester airwaves.
As such, we have re-opened our show application form and are looking to add new shows for our Spring/Summer 2024 programming season! If you've ever had an idea for a radio show, now's your chance to make it happen! No prior experience is necessary, our team of volunteers will train you and equip you with everything you need to execute your show concept. All we need is YOU!
Jerry Big's World Famous Band (@worldfamousband on IG) joined us in-studio at WAYO for a live session on Sunday 3/3/24 hosted by WAYO's own Ian Downey (host of Maybe I'm Wrong, Tuesdays 5-6pm).
Rochester-based Flying Object (@flyingobjectisaband on IG) joined us in-studio at WAYO for a live session on Sunday 2/25/24 to kick off our new Live @ WAYO on-air concert series!
We've been blown away by the support for our 2024 fundraising campaign thus far! Join us at the WAYO Studio at 1237 E. Main St, Rochester, NY 14609 (see wayofm.org/location for details) this Friday (November 10th) from 5pm until midnight for a WAYO Listener Party / Open House as make the final push to meet our $15,000 fundraiser goal.
WAYO's 2024 fundraising campaign kicks off on Friday, October 27th, 2023! With nearly 90 shows on the schedule and 150 volunteer DJs and show hosts, WAYO enters its eighth year of operations, none of which would have been possible without the support of our listeners and donors. Visit donate.wayofm.org to help keep unique arts and cultural programming on the Rochester airwaves from now through November 10th.
We are looking for local #ROC artists to design this year's fundraiser bumper sticker, T-shirt, and full-zip hoodie!
Are you ever frustrated that your favorite genre isn't represented on the Rochester airwaves? Do you feel there are important local issues and discussions that need more coverage? Perhaps YOU can be the person to make it happen -- on WAYO!
We're putting out a LAST CALL for the FALL batch of show applications, so get your application in by Monday, September 4th to be considered. Simply visit WAYOFM.org, click the "Be a DJ" button, and fill out the show application form.
WOW - we're still reeling from Sunday's Record Fair + Second Chance Art Sale at Radio Social (and our PERFECT spot in front of #thatradiowall ). A huge thanks to Needle Drop Records and Flour Pail Kids for putting the event together, as well as Croix, Chores , and Aweful Kanawful for providing live tunes out back. There was so much amazing #ROC creativity everywhere you looked!
