The Station Website

Posted on by

The WNUR website is in the process of being updated (the old version worked, but was tough to update and so was perennially out of date), but sadly they have brought up a barely functional version of the new site which is currently almost devoid of content and breaks all the old links. I’m sure that eventually everything will get squared away and all will be well, but there is no ETA for that at the moment. When they fix things I will update links here accordingly.

As always, this is the definitive place for my own playlists, so if you are looking to see exactly what I played this is the only place to come until they get WNUR playlist function working right.
