WLVR-FM is a freeform college radio station owned by Lehigh University in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, in the Lehigh Valley region of Pennsylvania in the United States. WLVR broadcasts locally at 91.3 MHz FM, and its programming is also available through online streaming on the station's website.

Programming

Scheduling for WLVR revolves around academic calendar of Lehigh University. While the University is in session students generally populate the programming. When Lehigh University is out of session, typically the summer months and around winter holidays, members of the community are responsible for WLVR's programming.

Awards

WLVR has won the Lehigh Valley Music Award for best College/Community Radio Station three consecutive years running. Popular DJ A.J. Fritz has also won the Lehigh Valley Music Award for Best College/Community Radio Personality six consecutive years running.

In 1972 the station's Program Director, Jim Cameron, received a Major Armstrong Award from Columbia University for his documentary "Old Friends". The award is named after the inventor of FM radio.
