WSHU Public Radio launches a new station for Long Island listeners! 

WSHU Public Radio is thrilled to announce the launch of 107.5 FM, an all-classical music station for Eastern Long Island listeners. The signal replaces 103.3 FM and can be heard from Riverhead to Montauk, and from Mattituck to Shelter Island. A hallmark of WSHU's classical music programming is the extensive knowledge of our on-air hosts. Wading River resident Lauren Rico, host of Afternoon Classical, is a former French horn player who is inspired by WSHU's passionate, committed listeners. Kate Remington, WSHU's Music Director and host of Morning Classical, received a degree in piano performance and mass communication from the University of Wisconsin. Before joining WSHU, she honed her considerable skills as a music announcer at Wisconsin Public Radio, the Beethoven Satellite Network, and Vermont Public Radio. So tune in for favorites by Beethoven, Mozart, Brahms and their colleagues, along with selections that are off the beaten path, and new releases and composers! To those listeners who love our NPR News and Talk format ... don't worry! You can still tune in to WSHU's 89.9 FM frequency for quality public radio programs.

A Message from our friends at the Suffolk Theater...

DINE with us. WINE with us. Be ENTERTAINED!

Join us for concerts, big band dances, comedy, films, children's events, tributes and much more. Food, fun and entertainment await you!
