SOBRE LA EMISORA
WEFT 90.1 FM is a non-profit, non-commercial, community radio station for Champaign, Urbana, and East Central Illinois. Since 1981, WEFT has been listener supported and volunteer run. The call letters WEFT were granted to the radio station by the Federal Communications Commission on April 28, 1980. Weft is a word used in weaving to describe the cross threads that bind all the various strands together. WEFT 90.1 FM was established as a radio station that would bind the various people of our community together - through talk, discussion, music, and entertainment - into an inclusive, vibrant, and solid fabric that shows the richness and diversity of Champaign-Urbana. Providing a "voice for the voiceless" in the community, WEFT exists for those under-served and under-represented by mainstream, corporate, for-profit radio stations. From the beginning, WEFT has had the mission statement to be Accessible, Responsible, Responsive, and Diverse. WEFT provides the community an outlet by allowing volunteer hosts a forum of expression to share views through a wide spectrum of information, news, and unique musical
entertainment.
