WAYO's 2024 fundraising campaign kicks off on Friday, October 27th, 2023! With nearly 90 shows on the schedule and 150 volunteer DJs and show hosts, WAYO enters its eighth year of operations, none of which would have been possible without the support of our listeners and donors. Visit donate.wayofm.org to help keep unique arts and cultural programming on the Rochester airwaves from now through November 10th.
We are looking for local #ROC artists to design this year's fundraiser bumper sticker, T-shirt, and full-zip hoodie!
Are you ever frustrated that your favorite genre isn't represented on the Rochester airwaves? Do you feel there are important local issues and discussions that need more coverage? Perhaps YOU can be the person to make it happen -- on WAYO!
We're putting out a LAST CALL for the FALL batch of show applications, so get your application in by Monday, September 4th to be considered. Simply visit WAYOFM.org, click the "Be a DJ" button, and fill out the show application form.
WOW - we're still reeling from Sunday's Record Fair + Second Chance Art Sale at Radio Social (and our PERFECT spot in front of #thatradiowall ). A huge thanks to Needle Drop Records and Flour Pail Kids for putting the event together, as well as Croix, Chores , and Aweful Kanawful for providing live tunes out back. There was so much amazing #ROC creativity everywhere you looked!
WAYO is proud to present the Summer Edition of the Rochester Record Fair and Second Chance Art Sale, brought to you by Flour Pail Kids and NeedleDrop Records. The fair will take place on Sunday, August 13th, at Radio Social (20 Carlson Rd) in Rochester, and will run from 11am to 4pm.

We were looking for local #ROC artists to design this year's fundraiser T-shirt and bumper sticker. The submission window has passed, but stay tuned to find out the winners!
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!
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.
