Classical WWNO Weekly Schedule
WWNO is New Orleans’ source for 24-hour classical music available on standard FM radios in New Orleans and the Eastbank and Westbank suburbs.
You can also find us on your HD radio at 89.9 FM-HD2 throughout most of the greater metropolitan area. Our digital streams are live worldwide here and on our mobile apps.
The prospect of having a radio station playing classical music 24/7 in New Orleans is one that makes me extremely happy. Radio stations devoted to classical music are beacons of education, culture and harmony. I am celebrating this prospect, even more as a parent of young children than as the conductor of the Louisiana Philharmonic!
