WEKU (88.9 FM) is a Peabody award-winning National Public Radio-charter member station licensed to Richmond, Kentucky serving central and eastern Kentucky, including nearby Lexington. Owned by Eastern Kentucky University, WEKU primarily broadcasts NPR news and talk programming along with locally produced content including Eastern Standard as well as local news and arts and cultural stories.
The station is one of two full NPR members serving Lexington, the other being the University of Kentucky's WUKY. Lexington is thus one of the smallest markets with two competing full NPR member stations.
WEKU broadcasts live separate news and classical streams online at weku.org and on the WEKU mobile app.
Translators
WEKU operates four full-power satellite stations, along with five low-power translator stations.[1] Their combined footprint covers nearly half of the Commonwealth.
