You'll hear mainstay oldies from the Beatles, Elvis, Elton John, Chuck Berry, the Bee Gees, Smokey Robinson and many more of course but you'll also hear pre-Rock N' Roll R&B, cool oldies that you rarely hear, one hit wonders and a small sampling of "standards" artists like Frank Sinatra and Etta James on the WREN. We are a live radio station that is not part of some huge radio corporation. WREN is the only station that we operate. We operate WREN is run like an "old fashioned" radio station. WREN is non-commercial and is operated by a volunteer staff with DJs on the air from 6 AM to 11 PM. We do run a couple of minutes of what are called “underwriting announcements” per hour but no advertising. You’ll hear a lot of music on 97.9 WREN!
