Two-Week Music Archives are Back!

Thanks to our partners at Spinitron
many of our music shows will once again be archived

Go to our Spinitron Calendar page and click on any of the green colored shows. You'll be able to start an in-browser player.

Copyright restrictions require us to start all playbacks at the beginning of each show, and you can't jump forward or back. If you want to listen to part of the 2nd hour of the show, you have to wait till the player gets there.

Look for the in-browser player - click on the triangle to start playback.

Because of copyright restrictions music shows can only remain online for two weeks. They also can't be downloaded or podcast.

Antenna Video

In the spring of 2020, WEFT completed a project our volunteers had worked on for a couple years. We ordered a new antenna and had it installed on a taller tower. This video documents the project.

You can view this and other WEFT-related videos on our YouTube Page.
