Why Our Members Matter

As a listener-supported community radio station, WWOZ brings you an incomparable blend of music that embodies the spirit and culture of New Orleans.

We'll be asking for vital listener support during our upcoming membership drive October 5-15. But you don't need to wait for the drive — you can join WWOZ online or by calling (504) 568-1239 any day of the year!

Let the world know why you love WWOZ by posting a comment on our What Does WWOZ Mean to You? page.

Your Donations at Work

Your contributions keep the groove going at 'OZ every single day, but they also provide crucial support special projects and new services. 

Recently, your membership dollars have gone towards the renovation of our broadcast studio, a better-sounding web stream, new live broadcast trucks, and our WWOZ Swamp Café.

Your continuing support also helps us get grants to fund vital operations like the digitization of our massive CD collection, the creation of a real-time playlist system, volunteer training, and of course, keeping us on the air and online 24 hours a day 7 days a week. 

In other words, thank you from the bottom of our music-loving hearts!
