We are a webcast radio project based at the Westcott Community Center that seeks to serve not only the local Westcott area, but the entire metropolitan Syracuse, New York area.
Soon we will be adding a micro-powered transmitter to cover a few people in the neighborhood and our long-term goal is to build up an exciting schedule of LOCAL & LIVE programming that will eventually be aired on an expanded FM signal in Syracuse provided by our friends WXXE FM.
Our goal is to provide a safe, accessible, fun & educational resource that meets community needs; strengthen and unite the community by bringing together its diverse elements; and raising conscious awareness through public education, art and to promote the full inclusion of all persons.
LOCAL music + LOCAL activism + LOCAL voices = Westcott Radio
