WOWD is non-commercial community radio. No advertising!

Underwriting WOWD is a great way to offer financial support in exchange for on-air recognition of your business/organization. It is a cost-effective alternative to advertising, and it precisely targets your customers: listeners who are well-informed, involved members of the District community.

• One month of underwriting is $150 (announcements during 5 shows per week between 8am-10pm)

• Non-profits receive a 10% discount

• Additional discounts are given for 3-month (or more) contracts

Contact us at TRex@TakomaRadio.org to underwrite exceptional community programming and align yourself with our mission to build bridges and promote understanding.

Take WOWD with you!

When you press the LISTEN LIVE or ON AIR NOW play buttons on our homepage, the player pops up.

It has useful features like detailed info about the current track, the current show's playlist, and our daily schedule. And... you can share the current track with friends :)

It's especially handy on phones and tablets, where you can save the player to your home screen for quick and convenient access to WOWD’s live stream!

Watch this video to learn how to load the player onto your iOS (0:13) or Android (1:09) device. 

Developed by Radio Rethink, a nonprofit group run by two tech-savvy, radio-loving brothers, the player has been adopted by many of our sister community radio stations.
