Why Support WXVU?
By supporting WXVU, listeners, alumni and community members help us build on all we've accomplished this academic year and continue elevating Villanova's radio presence in highlighting great University initiatives and people—to the Main Line and beyond.
What is WXVU?
89.1 WXVU, known as ‘V 89.1 The Roar,’ is Villanova University's own radio station! We’re student-run and have been broadcasting on the FM dial since 1991. Our 100-watt signal, with an antenna atop Villanova Stadium, serves the Main Line areas of Delaware, Montgomery and Chester counties. We feature over 25 weekly programs, hosted by Villanova students and offering a wide variety of music, sports, news, public affairs and specialty programming.
During the academic year of 2022-2023, WXVU reached new heights. In August 2022, we acquired the 89.1 FM signal full-time, after being in a timeshare agreement for the frequency. We improved our stream and sound quality, enhanced our website and broadcasted every Villanova football and basketball home game, including Villanova Women's Basketball NCAA Tournament run.
