WYSU 88.5 All Classical 🇺🇸

WYSU 88.5 FM, based in Youngstown, Ohio, is a public radio station owned by Youngstown State University (YSU). Its main focus is classical music, offering a steady stream of orchestral pieces, chamber music, and opera to the Mahoning Valley. This dedication fills a vital need, especially given the limited availability of live performances in the region. WYSU's link to YSU allows it to broadcast content from the university's music department, highlighting performances by students and faculty. It also serves as a training ground for aspiring broadcasters and journalists, while acting as a bridge between the university and the local community by promoting cultural events and intellectual discussions. Besides classical, WYSU carries NPR news programs, including *Morning Edition* and *All Things Considered*. It also produces local content, featuring interviews and coverage of local arts. Listener support is essential for maintaining operations, enabling the station to continue serving the community through quality programming and engagement.
