STREAM WPKN NOW! Cited as “the greatest radio station in the world,” in 2021 by David Owen of The New Yorker, WPKN independent community radio station is a 10,000-watt non-commercial radio station founded in 1963 and established as an independent, 501(c)3 nonprofit organization in 1989. Over the last 60+ years, WPKN has remained true to some basic principles to stand apart from convention and to serve diversity. Its volunteers and programmers have created an institution with depth, importance, and passion, and the listeners have made its continued existence possible.

WPKN broadcasts 24 hours a day on frequency 89.5 FM from a 10,000-­-watt transmitter located on Booth Hill in Trumbull, Connecticut reaching a potential listenership of 1.5 million people. Our signal reaches most of Connecticut, southeastern New York State, the eastern portion of Long Island, southwestern Massachusetts, and southwestern Rhode Island. The wpkn.org stream allows for an unlimited number of global listeners.

Operating 24/7 and largely run by volunteers, WPKN offers a unique and eclectic mix of live and recorded music, news, public affairs, spoken word, arts & culture and other free-form programming which defy genre. We are proud to be listener-supported, commercial-free, community-driven radio available to the public at no cost, any time, day or night.

WPKN is a community organization that amplifies tri-state area non-profits, artists, musicians. WPKN’s downtown station presence allows volunteers interested in broadcast radio, podcasting, video, and community outreach, to explore and build on their creative interests for free, with all levels of backgrounds and training accepted.
