This Friday night come to WAYO's 2nd Anniversary Party at The Bug Jar!

The Party Starts at 8 and goes all night!

In 2017 WAYO has continued to pick up steam and establish itself as a hub for Rochester's arts and cultural community. Please join us this Friday, January 19th to celebrate WAYO’s two year radio broadcast anniversary!

The WAYO programmers, volunteers and staff have worked incredibly hard to reach this milestone so let’s get together and munch on some pizza, listen to some music, dance our WAYOs off and enjoy each other’s company.

WAYO is funded through 2018. Thank You!

We cannot thank you enough for your support and your belief that WAYO deserves to continue on the Rochester airwaves. Because of the generosity of our listeners and the hard work of our programmers and volunteers, we are ecstatic to announce that we have raised over $21,861, blowing away our $20,000 goal and ensuring the future of the station for the next year. These funds will allow us to pay our operating costs as well as maintain our studio equipment. We'll also be making a few upgrades to our production studio and expand our presence at events around the city. 

All-Day Fundraiser Finale Party on Friday the 3rd!

To celebrate the final day of our fundraising campaign, WAYO is throwing an all-day listener party on Friday, November 3rd! Starting at 11 am and running to midnight, our doors will be open for behind the scenes tours, food and drink, and portraits with the WAYO boom box. And, of course, in person donations if you haven’t already donated at https://donate.wayofm.org! With a donation the size of the cost of a coup of coffee a month, you can make a huge impact on WAYO’s bottom line and get great perks.

We're Funded! Thank You! Final Total and Next Steps

Well, it's been a few days since the campaign ended and we here at WAYO are just now catching our breath. As you know, with your help we hit our funding goal and then some with a final tally of $17,702! That's an impressive amount that will keep WAYO operating for the remainder of 2017 AND give us the option of investing in some additional equipment this year. So, from all of us at the station, a resounding THANK YOU!! 

75% Funded, Stretch Goals, and Anniversary Concert!

Stretch Goals

Wowee!! Thanks to your help, we are now 75% funded with just 6 days left in our campaign. If we can keep this pace up, we'll reach our $16,000 goal with time to spare and you will have ensured that WAYO will continue to broadcast throughout 2017.

Stretch Goals

Now that we're this close to the goal, some new destinations have come into view, as you can see above! Here's what each of these stretch goals will mean for you and the station:
