Our Mission
The mission of WDIY 88.1 FM is to engage the Lehigh Valley community through a wide-ranging exchange of news, music, arts, and culturally diverse information. About WDIY
WDIY is a listener-supported public radio station and NPR station based in the Lehigh Valley area of Pennsylvania which first began broadcasting in 1995. WDIY serves the community of eastern Pennsylvania and western
New Jersey with NPR programs like Morning Edition and All Things Considered along with award-winning locally-produced programs exploring political, financial, and cultural topics in the Lehigh Valley. In addition to news and public affairs, WDIY is also home to an eclectic mix of music programs. Classical, folk, jazz, blues, indie rock, world music, and more can be heard on WDIY every week. WDIY is committed to providing listeners with the most wide-ranging mix of music heard on Lehigh Valley airwaves. WDIY operates on a unique community model with a roster of over 120 dedicated volunteers, including over 90 on-air hosts who work to bring the station's programming to listeners year-round. In addition to the core volunteer roster, WDIY's Youth Media Program has also mentored and trained over 200 high school students in audio production, writing, and journalism since first launching in 1999. The station is licensed to the Lehigh Valley Community Broadcasters Association, Inc., an accredited 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. The largest—and most reliable—source of support for the station comes from member contributions. All membership donations made to WDIY are tax-deductible. WDIY can be heard at:
• 88.1 FM in the Lehigh Valley and beyond
• 93.9 FM in Easton, PA/Phillipsburg, NJ
• Streaming: wdiy.org and the WDIY app
