WNYO is a radio station broadcasting from the State University of New York at Oswego in the City of Oswego, New York.[1][2] The station is run entirely by SUNY Oswego students. Although a few members of the Oswego faculty have their own shows. WNYO broadcasts music of almost any genre (although the station has attempted to winnow down the music played to four categories: Indie, loud rock, Hip-Hop, and RPM) to the entire campus and the surrounding city on 88.9FM. Those outside the city of Oswego can go on the WNYO website and click the Internet feed option to listen anywhere in the world.[3]

Along with its large variety of music, WNYO boasts over fifty student run shows from Indie shows like The Morning Show to speciality shows such as On the Run with Dan and Ed and 2 Guys 1 Show with Ryan and Andy and original sports programming. Many shows have significant underwriting from local businesses within Oswego.
