Journey with me back to December 8, 1995. WWRU first crackled to life on the airwaves. This wasn’t just another station. WWRU emerged as the pioneering station in the nation to broadcast on the newly expanded AM band at 1660 kHz. Imagine the excitement. The anticipation. WWRU was a groundbreaking moment in radio history, a testament to innovation and a bold step into the future of broadcasting. Located in the vibrant New York metropolitan area, WWRU, broadcasting at 1660 kHz, serves as a vital connection to the Korean community. With studios nestled in the heart of Manhattan, WWRU pumps out 10,000 watts of Korean language talk and music, 24/7. This powerful signal, emanating from a transmitter in Carlstadt, New Jersey, reaches far beyond the city’s boundaries. WWRU wasn’t always a Korean language station. It started as WJDM in Elizabeth, New Jersey. It was a children’s radio station, affiliated with the Radio AAHS network. Think back to 1996. Children across the New York area tuned into WWRU for their daily dose of fun and educational programming. This station even broadcast in C-QUAM AM Stereo, a cutting-edge technology at the time. But as times changed, so did WWRU. The children’s programming eventually gave way to a Spanish talk format under Radio Unica. Later, it transformed again, becoming the Korean language powerhouse we know today. WWRU, broadcasting at 1660 kHz, isn’t just a radio station. It’s a cultural touchstone, a bridge between generations, and a vibrant voice in the diverse tapestry of New York City.
