WEFT History and Info
You can read a short version of WEFT's history here
Interestingly back in 1937 the upstairs of WEFT's building 113 1/2 and Dave Monk's building 115 1/2 were a gambling establishment, the Turf Club aka Klemick's. Thanks to the Urbana Free Library Archives, here's a story about Champaign's Gambling Hotspots, the Turf Club was part of North Market Street's Gamblers Row
Joe Lex, was one of WEFT's Founders (and partly repsonsible for some of those vinyl records we have stored up in our attic). He recently dug up this little bit of WEFT History. Here's an early vision of what our Programming would be, Joe Lex - WEFT's 1981 Programming Vision
WEFT Video from the 90's Clips of many WEFTies who helped make WEFT what it is today. How many do you recognize?

Two Week Music Archives are Back!
Thanks to our partners at Spinitron many of our music shows will once again be archived
Go to our Spinitron Calendar page and click on any of the green colored shows. You'll be able to start an in-browser player.
Copyright restrictions require us to start all playbacks at the beginning of each show, and you can't jump forward or back. If you want to listen to part of the 2nd hour of the show, you have to wait till the player gets there.
Look for the in-browser player - click on the triangle to start playback.
Because of copyright restrictions music shows can only remain online for two weeks. They also can't be downloaded or podcast.
Public Affairs Archives!
Most of your favorite Public Affairs shows have been archived on a weekly basis by WEFT's own volunteers. We have archives of some shows going back to 2015.
Go to our Public Affairs page to listen to shows such as Disability Beat, Higher Ground, News From Neptune, Radio Free Labor and The Prairie Monk.
Media - Pics, Videos, Newsletters etc.
