'''WHRW''' (90.5 [[FM broadcasting|FM]]) is [[Binghamton University]]'s [[Nonprofit organization|non-profit]], [[College radio|student-run]], [[Freeform (radio format)|free-format]] [[radio station]]. The station is licensed and owned by [[Binghamton University]], serving the [[New York (state)|New York]] [[college]] area. WHRW has operational facilities in [https://www.binghamton.edu/libraries/about/locations/bartle/index.html Glenn G. Bartle Library Tower] and in [[State University of New York|SUNY]] Binghamton [[Students' union|Student Union]].

WHRW is operated by the students of SUNY Binghamton and interested members of the [[Greater Binghamton]] community. WHRW operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week and broadcasts using a 2&nbsp;kW transmitter at 90.5&nbsp;MHz.

WHRW's air staff consists of [[Volunteering|volunteers]] who become members by [[Apprenticeship|apprenticing]] under a current member for a programming season and then passing a Clearance Exam. Since 1996, WHRW members have participated in a "Station Service" program, by which they accrue hours by accomplishing tasks that support the station. The support hours are then used to determine the member's "slotting priority" when they request a show. This guarantees that those who give more time to the station have more opportunities.
