WGLZ 91.5-FM is West Liberty University’s student-run radio station and we would like to welcome you to our site!

2014 was a great year for WGLZ, our listeners, our music artists, and our sponsors.  Last semester we raised money and food for the Wheeling YWCA, held a campus comedy show, had a float in the homecoming parade, baked cookies, played some basketball, held a dance-a-thon, threw pies at WLU athletes, played music on the quad, passed out Halloween candy to West Liberty Elementary school, provided play-by-play action of WLU football, had 15 DJs provide live shows from our station’s studio and put up the first traffic light in West Liberty! That wasn’t even the whole year!!

Best of all, WGLZ is looking for even better things to happen in 2015 and we hope to have you with us.

Browse around the site and give us a listen. If you want to get involved, take a class, sponsor the station, or have a request, let us know.

Thanks for visiting.
