Student run, professionally managed, and listener supported, it plays a commercial-free eclectic mix of new and classics from local, alternative, indie, and iconic artists. Specialty programming also includes in-studio live performances from local bands, showtunes, soul and R&B, acoustic singer-songwriters, and Jewish music and humor. WERS has been proudly serving New England since 1949 with music, news, public service announcements and special events of interest. The app streams 3 stations: 88.9 WERS, ERS+ The Black Experience, and Standing Room Only, a 24/7 stream of the best of Broadway and Showtunes. The app also provides playlists, music news, and program listings. App users can also donate to the station and leave audio messages to be used on the air.
Obviously, I started listening to WERS on the reading LOL! Started with The Playground on late Sunday afternoons, Fish Heads, Fish Heads…and haven’t stopped listening! Jersey Hal was my Saturday night dance party companion though out the lockdown :) Love the mix of shows and musical offerings. Really appreciate the opportunities and education for all the amazing students who make WERS radio and theatre come alive! The app is great. Never cuts out on Wi-Fi or cellular. Easy peasy to use and I like I can add songs from it to my playlist. Thank you and keep rockin’
Best radio station around, by a long shot.

For years I have felt fortunate to live close enough to ERS to always hear their music. Now I can get it online too. Hands-down the best programming around. Mix of old and new. Also some great deep cuts. Overall a phenomenal station. I love George in the morning. He strikes right balance of funny comments and pleasant demeanor with his co-hosts. He also has great musical choices. Overall an excellent radio station I feel proud to support them.
Amazing selection!

Nice to hear alternative music from my past and also to be introduced to new artists and songs. The other stations play the same songs over and over - thank you for keeping it fresh and creative!
Happy to have this option

I used to listen to ERS via Tune In until they wanted $15 a month! For some reason we no longer have a radio in the house We listen to everything via Alexa I wish this app could stream over Alexa I connect my via Bluetooth Sometimes this app will drop connection When running the quality is very good Thank you!
