Listen on the Radio

Listen on our low power frequency 105.3 (WETX-P15) around random parts of the Tri-Cities area. Having trouble picking up the signal? Since we are a VERY low power station, it can sometimes be hard to pick us up (you often have to be using radio with a good antenna (such a car radio)). The best thing to do is just listen online. We offer both a CD quality and AM quality stream!

Listen on a Cell Phone

The listen links under "Winamp" usually will work for you to be able to listen through a cell phone. Most cell phone companies have trouble playing our high bandwith stream, so it is recommended that you listen using the dial-up stream. 

If you have an iPhone that has access to the application store, you can download a nice application called Tuner Internet Radio". Click here to download Tuner Internet Radio directly from the iTunes store!
