WYSO is an FM radio station in Yellow Springs, Ohio, near Dayton, operated by Antioch University. It is a National Public Radio affiliate and operates at 91.3 MHz. It is the flagship NPR station for the Dayton area.
WYSO signed on in 1957, and has the distinction among NPR affiliates of being located in one of the smallest villages to host an NPR station.
Before NPR affiliation, most of the station's programming was locally originated. "WYSO People's News" a local news program taking its inspiration from NPR's "All Things Considered" and CBC Radio's "As It Happens" was aired in the 1970s and 80s. The rest of WYSO's program schedule was eclectic and block programming.
Locally produced "Rise When The Rooster Crows", once a daily morning feature, now airs traditional Bluegrass music on Sunday mornings. "Morning Edition" has aired in its place since WYSO became an NPR affiliate in the late 1980s. Bluegrass music is also aired on Saturday evenings with the program "Down Home Bluegrass."
Programming from Public Radio International and BBC World Service is also aired.
