New Radio Station Format That House Built


Published on January 22, 2019

WERUradio’s uniquely diverse format was crafted through 20 plus years of broadcast radio program experience. Music lovers can now hear a newly created format on WERUradio. WERUradio is currently accessible 24hrs a day on WERUradio.com, Live365, Streema.com, and  Alexa/Echo using the WERUradio skill. WERUradio has created a platform that interpolates the uptempo flavors of R&B (Fantasia, Kelly Rowland, Usher) Hip Hop (Busta Rhymes, Trina, Missy Elliott) and House Music (Quentin Harris, Martha Wash, Frankie Knuckles) combine to give you a unique musical taste.

The WERUradio roster brings the heat with the latest from chart-topping artists while it fills a niche market by prominently featuring amazing artists like B. Slade, Big Freedia, MNEK, Young M.A. and more from the LGBTQ community in heavy rotation.

WERUradio launches its live programming officially on Monday, February 4, 2019.  The lineup starts strong at 6 am EST with the premiere of The WERU Morning Crew.  The WERU Morning Crew is a dynamic team of voices and personalities: Say Imamu, Nova Clawtooth, Jana Fleming, and TJ Oanomochi.  Their vibe and energy are unbounded. The WERU Morning Crew is there for you when you wake up, for your drive time, and that first sip of coffee with relevant news, hilarious commentary, and insightful observations on all the things going on in the world!  WERU Morning Crew…your partners in morning fun!

WERUradio’s mission is to present the diversity of the musical landscape in the LGBTQ community. Many LGBTQ themed and formatted stations, only offer one dimension of the vast patchwork of musical influences embraced by the LGBTQ community. Moreover, those same stations are void of the incredible artists who articulate and represent the musical tapestry of the LGBTQ community.

While WERUradio features LGBTQ artists, the format remains relatable to everyone. Whether you’re part of the LGBTQ Community or not, WERUradio offers music that makes you feel good and makes you move. The universal force that brings the world together.
