The New WPSU.org

Posted by Multimedia on 03/04 at 03:25 PM

Welcome to the new and improved WPSU.org! We’ve been working diligently to bring you a richer online experience beyond our traditional broadcast mediums.

Our redesign focused on three main goals:

• Increase focus on local content
• Provide easier access to multimedia content
• Create an online community for WPSU viewers and listeners

Here are some specific changes we don’t want you to miss:

Homepage Highlights

• Watch a selection of Top Videos
• Listen Live to a direct stream of WPSU or WPSU2
• Find out what’s Now on TV or Now on Radio
• Listen to the WPSU Morning Local News
• Find local activities on the Community Calendar

Media Experience

Our media content has been better organized by program to make it easier to find, watch, and listen.

• Watch or listen to recent episodes directly from TV or Radio programs pages
• Access TV or Radio episodes pages for archived programs—some of which date back as far as 1997

Community Calendar

The WPSU Community Calendar is now easier to find and simpler to use.

Added Functionality For Registered Users:

• Add events to a favorites list
• Save time by adding profile information that autopopulates the Add An Event form

Folk Show

Our dedicated team of volunteer hosts has created an environment for folk music enthusiasts.

• Participate in the Forum
• Find an event in the ever-popular Folk Calendar
• Search on-air playlists
• Listen Now to a random stream of songs
• Access archived interviews with folk luminaries from Greg Brown to Michael Doucet to Loudon Wainwright
