WWSU (106.9 FM) is a radio station broadcasting a Variety format. Licensed to Fairborn, Ohio, USA, the station serves the Ohio college area. The station is currently owned by Wright State University.[1][2] Along with music, WWSU broadcasts select Wright State Raiders sporting events.

WWSU broadcasts in an open format. This means that the DJ has nearly complete control over what gets played on the air. Shows typically average two hours, with an automation system playing when no DJs are on the air.

Operations

The station staff is made up of Wright State students. Members of the faculty also assist with the station, but mostly in a hands-off fashion, as the radio station is intended to be a student run environment. DJs consist of current Wright State students.

Programming

While WWSU broadcasts in an open format, the current main genre on the station shifts between Hip-Hop and Rock. The station also puts a spotlight on Dayton music, broadcasting both larger and smaller acts from the area. Local artists occasionally perform live on various shows on the station.

WWSU carries all home Wright State men's and women's basketball games. Along with game coverage, WWSU Sports carries the Raiders Sport Scene Tuesday and Thursday afternoons.
