Where Can I Hear WEOS

Public Radio for the Finger Lakes
Welcome to the WEOS : Public Radio for the Finger Lakes!

WEOS is a unique broadcast service for the Finger Lakes; by day we provide the best in Public Radio programming, by night the Hobart & William Smith students sneak in and spin the latest rock/alternative/hip-hop/classic/you-name-it.  We also provide extensive coverage of special lectures, symposiums, debates (and more) hosted on the HWS campus. 

Also check out our sister station: WHWS 105.7FM - the new home for some of our Hobart Statesmen and William Smith Herons sports.  If you don't hear it on 89.7, go up to 105.7.  If you don't hear it on 105.7, try 89.7.  Don't hear it on either?  Then there's no game!   WHWS also broadcasts other local events, HWS campus events and Radio Bilingue, a Spanish-language service to the Latino community of Geneva.
