News
WNYU News is an award winning college radio news department entirely run by students! We give our unique take on the stories that tend to go under the radar of mainstream media.
During the Spring and Fall semesters, the news department goes live with 2 minute news updates at the top of the hour from 10 A.M.-5 P.M. 7 days a week. Tune in for up to the minute information.
The department also produces 3 news shows:
