About the station
Listen to WAER Syracuse Public Media online
WAER 88.3 FM is Syracuse University’s public radio station, combining Central New York journalism with NPR news, jazz and Syracuse Orange sports. Start the WAER live stream above for the main service.
Weekdays emphasize news and information from morning through early evening, followed by jazz. Weekend programming includes public-radio features and Common Threads, Pete Thomas’s Sunday mix of folk, Americana, roots and bluegrass. The official live guide remains the authority when sports or specials preempt the schedule.
WAER broadcasts on 88.3 FM. Its separate 88.3 HD2 Jazz 88 channel offers an additional continuous jazz service online; it is a digital subchannel, not another analog frequency or sister station.
