While things slow down a bit for the summer, we are planning ahead!

We will once again be doing our special "From 90 to 1" countdown over Labor Day weekend. This year's theme is cover songs. Which are the best? Which are your favorites? Which are better than the original?

We want to hear from you. Over the summer, we'll be collecting responses to the best cover songs of all time according to listeners and alumni. We'll tally those submissions and count down the top 90 this Labor Day weekend.

Head on over to www.wiupfm.org and click on the button right below our logo.

It only takes a few minutes to complete the survey, and you'll help to shape this year's countdown! We look forward to your responses!

Now that's the community coming together!

Don't let this weekend's forecast get in the way of enjoying great music here in Indiana - the Westsylvania Jazz and Blues Festival is now indoors!

HEADS UP! We're taking this show to Indiana Mall !
Due to the rainy forecast, the fine folks at the Mall are putting a roof over our heads. The Mall is located at 2334 Oakland Avenue, moments from downtown Indiana.
Parking is free and, of course, admission to the 2026 Delaney Chevrolet Westsylvania Jazz and Blues Festival and Westsylvania Arts Fest remains free courtesy of our sponsors and partners.
Stay tuned for more announcements and updates. See you Saturday, May 23 in Indiana, PA!
