We are a commercial-free, listener-supported station broadcasting from Emerson College to Boston and beyond. WERS is student-run with the guidance of a professional staff, who, together, produce award-winning programs. We have consistently been cited as the mostly highly rated and critically acclaimed college radio station in the country!
WERS has an eclectic block playlist featuring a Triple A (adult album alternative) daytime format and sultry R&B, slow-jam and soul-filled evening programs. We feature more than 20 different musical styles, conduct interesting interviews and offer more live performances than any other station in the region. On weekends, we offer family-friendly shows followed by cultural and spiritual programming. We also feature professionally produced weekday news segments during commuter drive time and the award-winning public affairs show "You Are Here."
The mission of WERS 88.9 FM is to train future leaders of the media industry while creating a viable product for the Boston community and beyond that reflect the quality of the institution (Emerson College).
WERS partners with CARS (Charitable Adult Rides & Services) to process real estate donations to benefit WERS. Our program takes any property type (land, homes, commercial) in any location so long as there is equity. Even if you owe back taxes, have a mortgage balance, or deferred maintenance, it's no problem. We will pay off all loans, liens, commissions owed and pay all closing costs. If you have a real estate asset that is costing you money or not being utilized, donating it is a great way to give back and you may even claim a significant tax deduction!!
