WERU received a grant from the Maine Community Foundation to develop a WERU smartphone app to make community radio more accessible. 

The brand new WERU Community Radio app has just been launched! Now you can listen to WERU live and archived shows from your phone! Just search for WERU Community Radio in your app store. The app is available via apple or android smartphones.

A very big thank you to the Maine Community Foundation for funding to develop the app. We hope you enjoy it!
