WHVW is perhaps the only station in the nation featuring American roots music as it’s primary format. Our format is designed around mostly American music, from the beginning of useful recorded sound (circa 1900) to 1970. Among the genres you will hear on WHVW are Blues, Hillbilly, Rock ‘n’ Roll (the *real* ‘50's and ‘60's stuff), Rhythm and Blues, Jazz, Folk, Western Swing, Electric Blues (i.e. post WWII blues), Country, Popular, Bluegrass, Doo-Wop, Rockabilly and Big Bands.
