WRHO is a small, noncommercial educational broadcast facility on the Hartwick College campus in Oneonta, NY. At 270 watts, WRHO broadcasts 24 hours per day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year at 89.7 FM. Our studios are located inside the Dewar Union Hall Communication Suite on Hartwick's campus and broadcasts to a listening audience within a ~30mile radius via a 500-watt transmitter.

WRHO has been on the air for over four decades, playing the best variety of music not otherwise heard on other area stations. WRHO offers students and members of the Hartwick College community a chance to explore radio in a way not otherwise possible. WRHO also connects with the Oneonta community at large by stating public service announcements of upcoming events, by hosting bands, and by offering our services to other clubs and organizations on campus. Every year during Spring Weekend WRHO broadcasts live for 72 hours from a tent on Frisbee Field on the Hartwick campus.

On WRHO, all types of music can be found. Jazz to Heavy Metal, Folk and Country to Reggae, Classic Rock and Oldies to Hip Hop, nothing is off-limits. WRHO receives numerous demo tapes and pre-releases from both big-time national groups and local bands before any commercial stations d, which are played often. This is our biggest difference from those other stations, and at an advantage for our listeners. With a radio station serving such a small number of people, the station can be catered to those listeners. Aside from our large CD library and personal DJ music libraries, our computer houses over 6,000 songs.
