WWOZ
What started out as a community radio station focused on New Orleans music, at 90.7 FM, has developed a rich online presence and become a vital resource for enjoying the seemingly endless variety of the city’s music and culture.
Sustaining New Orleans Music and Culture
Starting out in 1980 from a cramped, unairconditioned apartment above the legendary music shrine Tipitina’s, this beacon of local music and culture, at 90.7 FM (also streaming online at wwoz.org) now enjoys a worldwide following. Music listings broadcast at the top of each odd hour. Search music venues with listings of live performances or check the Livewire Music Calendar online (also available via the WWOZ app for iPhone and Android). Also: community event listings, live event broadcasts, New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, French Quarter Festival, etc.), podcasts, news, coverage of Second Line parades and Mardi Gras Indians (interview archive), plus videos of performances and interviews with culture-bearers, documentary vignettes about music, food, second lines, festivals and more. During Carnival, WWOZ, attuned to the more subcultural side of the festivities, has been known to present live video streams from various locales. A vital community resource, in short, celebrating and preserving the cultural heritage of New Orleans and Louisiana.
