WSOU is a non-commercial, college radio station, located at 89.5 MHz FM. The station broadcasts from the campus of Seton Hall University in South Orange.

WSOU is one of the nation's leading college radio stations, winning numerous awards since their inception in 1948, including the Peabody Award in 1975. The station broadcasts an ecletic modern rock format, featuring punk, emo, ska, alternative, and other types of music. On Sunday, community shows are broadcast, including the Armenian Hour and the long-running Polka Party. In addition, WSOU features broadcasts of Seton Hall sports such as soccer, basketball and baseball. One of the popular and long-running shows on WSOU is Hall Line, a call-in show after each men's basketball broadcast. Lou Monaco calls Hall Line from Newark Stadium during Bears games to request the "Hey Song".

Famous alumni include Orioles broadcaster Jim Hunter, long-time ESPN anchorman Bob Ley, Fox Sports New York reporter Matt Loughlin, Fox News anchor Donna Fiducia and former NBC executive Bill Rock.
