Good Tuesday morning!

WSIE 88.7 The Sound's terrestrial (FM) signal will be down for a portion of the day today (Tuesday, December 16th) as our engineering crew continues their work on our antenna atop the tower.

As mentioned in the previous update, this is a process and will require some ongoing work for the immediate future, but it shouldn't be much longer before we're able to go full power.

Thank you for your patience! And, as always, you can still listen to WSIE 88.7 The Sound while this work is happening:

-Online at wsie.com
-On your smart device with the TuneIn app
-By asking your smart speaker to "Play WSIE"

And we're back!

WSIE 88.7 The Sound is back on the air after a very important upgrade. Since Monday afternoon, we've been off the air while our engineers and tower climbers took our old antenna down and hoisted and installed our new antenna.

While this is a very important step forward in our upgrade process, there may still be times in the immediate future when you'll hear static, or you may not be getting a strong signal and that's to be expected until this process is finished.

Thank you to everyone who called in or sent email to check on us! This music that you love and rely upon isn't going anywhere. We're just making moves to ensure that even more people around the St. Louis region can enjoy this wonderful mix of music here at The Sound.

As always, you can also hear us online at wsie.com, on your smart device via the TuneIn app, or you can ask your smart speaker to "play WSIE."

Thank you for your patience! Onward and upward!
