Our Mission
WSR is committed to the creation of radio broadcasting by and for a public of diverse cultures, ages, income levels, and backgrounds, under-served and under-represented by other area media.  WSR shall provide musical, cultural, and informational programming that celebrates and expresses the diversity of the community. It shall provide a voice for groups in the community that may otherwise go unheard, sustaining a forum for alternative points of view on local, national, and international issues, with particular awareness to women, students, labor, minorities, and other public interest constituencies. WSR will promote understandings between cultures and serve as a catalyst for positive social change within the community. WSR will provide programming, access, and training to the community, with significant participatory opportunities to students from the local school districts and other area schools and colleges.
