- Tell your Amazon Echo device, “Alexa, listen to WERU.”
- Tell your Google Home device, “Hey Google, play eighty-nine point nine” – if you are in our regular broadcast area – or “Hey Google, play WERU on Tune-in”. (You will get a “Tune in” jingle and an ad before the WERU stream will play. Please let me know if neither of these work for you.)
