Listen To Holiday Music 24/7 On WLRA

ROMEOVILLE, IL — With Christmas Day now less than a month away, you can listen to holiday music 24 hours a day, seven days a week on Lewis University's student-run radio station, WLRA-FM.

According to a release from the university, the holiday music started the day after Thanksgiving and will run through Jan. 1. Listeners can tune in via radio at 88.1 FM, online or on iTunes, Google Play and iHeartRadio.

The radio station plays the holiday music to benefit the United Way of Will County, according to a release. Instead of commercials, WLRA plays brief public service announcements about United Way agencies in Will County. The local nonprofit raises money to support human care services provided by other local nonprofit agencies.

The WLRA Christmas programming will feature sacred, traditional, contemporary and new hits, including artists such as Taylor Swift, Miley Cyrus, Gwen Stefani, Hanson, 98 Degrees, Leann Rimes, Kenny Rogers and many more, according to a release. The Christmas programming as well as the University’s Andrew Center of Electronic Media are made possible from a grant from the Aileen S. Andrew Foundation.

“It’s our Christmas gift to the community. Our students are honored to use their skills in the radio industry to help others in the various United Way programs in a year that it is so desperately needed,” John Carey, director of the Andrew Center of Electronic Media, said in a release.
