What is WHRW?
WHRW is a college/community radio station whose website, WHRW, centers on a live stream and a weekly program schedule. The page shows a "Listen" stream with a current-track and current-show display, plus an on-air rundown organized by day and genre—for example, Sunday slots labeled Pop, Folk, Rock and Jazz, each with a show name, host and start time. It also links to About, Schedule, Blog, Contact and "Need Stream Help?" pages, and references an FCC Public File & EEO Report, which is typical of licensed U.S. broadcasters.
In practice, it's a station for listeners who want curated, host-led music programming rather than on-demand playlists: you check the schedule, tune in when a show matching your taste is on, and use the stream-help page if playback fails. The trade-off is that scheduled radio rewards appointment listening, so the schedule—not a searchable catalog—is the main way to find something.
A useful next step: open the Schedule, find the current time slot, and note the host and genre; then use Contact or the Blog if you want to follow a particular show between broadcasts.
How can I listen to WHRW live?
Listen through the WHRW website's live stream at WHRW, where the homepage shows the current track, current show, and a "Need Stream Help?" link. The schedule is organized by day and genre, so you can catch a specific program rather than tuning in at random.
Practical listening steps
- Open WHRW and select the listen/stream option on the page.
- Check the "Current show" panel to confirm what is airing now.
- Use the schedule to note a show's start time, host, and genre—for example, Sunday's listings include The Dump (pop), The Merry-Go-Round Rumble (folk), and The Sunday Service (jazz).
- If audio does not start, follow the site's "Need Stream Help?" link before trying another browser.
The schedule is useful if you want a particular style of music: someone who enjoys folk could plan around Cozy Catharsis or The Merry-Go-Round Rumble, while a jazz listener might aim for The Sunday Service. Times shown are the station's own schedule, so check them against your local time zone.
What shows are on the WHRW schedule and when do they air?
WHRW's published schedule lists these Sunday shows, with host names where given:
| Time | Show | Host | Genre |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1:00–2:30 pm | The Dump | DJ Raccoon | Pop |
| 2:30–4:00 pm | The Merry-Go-Round Rumble | — | Folk |
| 4:00–5:30 pm | Cozy Catharsis | DJ Faye | Rock |
| 5:30–7:00 pm | The Sensory Room | DJ Clementine & DJ Rigby | Folk |
| 7:00–8:30 pm | Monkey Business | DJ Nomad | Pop |
| 8:30–10:00 pm | Fly By Night Radio | Doc Mordechi | Rock |
| 10:00–11:30 pm | The Sunday Service | DJ Monk | Jazz |
| 11:30 pm– | The Illest | Blizz the Illest | — |
The page also shows a "current show" panel, which at the time of the snapshot read The Dump with DJ Raccoon, 1:00–2:30 pm — suggesting the listed times are the station's local broadcast times.
For a listener, the practical next step is to check the live schedule page at WHRW before tuning in, since college and community stations often rotate or substitute shows. If you want a single block, the evening run from 5:30 to 10:00 pm moves from folk to pop to rock, while the late slot is jazz followed by an unlabeled show — useful if you're planning around one genre rather than one host.
How do I get help if the WHRW stream isn't working?
Use the Need Stream Help? link on WHRW if the stream isn't playing. It sits in the site's main navigation alongside About, Schedule, Blog and Contact, so it is the station's own route for listening problems rather than a general contact form.
What to try first
- Reload the page and press play again; streams often fail on the first attempt and recover on a second.
- Check whether the current show is between listed times on the Schedule page. Overnight or between-show gaps can look like a broken stream.
- Try a different browser or turn off any ad or script blocker for the site, since blockers sometimes stop embedded players.
- Switch networks briefly (for example, from Wi-Fi to mobile data) to rule out a local connection issue.
If it still fails
Send a short report through the Need Stream Help? page or the Contact page. Include the show name and time from the schedule, the device and browser you used, whether other audio played normally, and the exact wording of any error message. That detail lets the station tell a single bad stream apart from a wider outage.
As a practical check: if the schedule shows a live show but the player stays silent across two browsers and two networks, report it rather than keep troubleshooting. If only one device fails, the problem is almost certainly local.
Who are the WHRW DJs and what genres do they play?
WHRW's schedule lists each show with its host and a genre tag, so the DJ-to-genre pairing comes straight from the programme grid. On the Sunday lineup shown, the hosts and styles are:
| DJ / Host | Show | Genre |
|---|---|---|
| DJ Raccoon | The Dump (1:00–2:30 pm) | Pop |
| Rumble | The Merry-Go-Round (2:30 pm) | Folk |
| DJ Faye | Cozy Catharsis (4:00 pm) | Folk |
| DJ Clementine & DJ Rigby | The Sensory Room (5:30 pm) | Rock |
| DJ Nomad | Monkey Business (7:00 pm) | Pop |
| Doc Mordechi | Fly By Night Radio (8:30 pm) | Rock |
| DJ Monk | The Sunday Service (10:00 pm) | Jazz |
| Blizz the Illest | The Illest (11:30 pm) | — (no genre listed) |
How to use this
If you're tuning in for a specific sound, treat the genre tag as a starting filter and the host as the real guide: a folk show at 2:30 and another at 4:00 may still differ a lot in tone depending on who's presenting. Check the current-show panel on WHRW before listening, since the grid above covers Sunday only and other days will list different hosts.
How can I contact WHRW or submit a blog request?
The site lists a Contact page in its main navigation, and that is the route to use for general questions, including anything about the blog. The visible page evidence does not show a contact form, email address or mailing address, so the exact submission method has to be confirmed on that page itself.
What to do
- Open the Contact link from the top navigation on WHRW.
- Use whatever channel it lists, such as a form or an email address, and state clearly that the message is a blog request.
- For a blog request, include the proposed topic, why it fits the station, and any relevant links or audio. A short pitch is easier to route than a general enquiry.
If the Contact page is unclear
- Programme-specific idea: the schedule shows each show with a named host, such as DJ Raccoon on The Dump or DJ Faye on Cozy Catharsis. A request tied to a particular show may reach the right person faster if the Contact page points to individual hosts.
- Station-level or technical matter: use the general Contact route. The navigation also includes a Need Stream Help? item, which is the better fit for listening or streaming problems than a blog request.
As a practical check before sending, look at recent Blog posts to see the kind of material the station publishes, then frame the request around that format.
