WAYO Record Fair was a BLAST!
WOW -- we can't believe how much fun we had at the WAYO Benefit Record Fair at Lux Lounge this past Sunday. Thanks to everyone who came out to support us and buy records, and an even BIGGER thanks to Russ from Needle Drop Recordsfor organizing the fair, getting raffle prizes, coordinating vendors... we can't thank you enough. The fair helped raise over $1500 for WAYO -- that's enough to run WAYO for a whole month and then some!
Needle Drop Records x Lux present a Record Fair Benefit for WAYO!
WAYO is excited to announce a special summer record fair hosted by Lux Lounge and Needle Drop Records. Proceeds from door donations, raffle, and more will help benefit your favorite local radio station, WAYO 104.3FM!
The Record Fair will feature local vendors selling vinyl, CDs, tapes, video, and other new and used merchandise. In addition, a bunch of your favorite WAYO DJs will be spinning records throughout the day while you dig for treasures in the stacks.

Turn Up for Community Radio!
TURN UP FOR COMMUNITY RADIO - literally! Help WAYO's voice go farther in our community! The FCC is considering a proposal called "Simple 250" which would allow low-power FM stations like WAYO to apply for a power increase up to 250 watts (from 100 watts).
This could be HUGE for WAYO and other low-power community stations in town (like our friends 100.9 WXIR and Poder971) and across the country!
