Internet connects WKSU, listeners Emerging technologies are allowing WKSU-FM listeners new ways to connect with timely information — as downloaded content, with RSS updates and through streaming media over the Internet. If listeners miss their daily fix of Your Way Home, they may choose to download the entire program as a podcast. So named because they are often utilized as content for iPods™, podcasts are MP3 files that are downloadable to a computer or mobile MP3 player. Listeners can download one installment or subscribe for a daily feed. Your Way Home is one of a select group of podcasts available from the NPR Web site. WKSU local news headlines are also available as podcasts, as well as in an RSS feed. RSS (Really Simple Syndication) updates subscribers when new content, written or audio, has been added to an archive. These feeds provide listeners up-to-date information on local news and events in Northeast Ohio, from the award-winning WKSU newsroom. News fans have access to additional public radio programs by listening online through WKSU-2, the News Channel, a 24-hour service that provides WKSU news alongside other news and information programs that are not available on other radio stations in Northeast Ohio. WKSU-2 is part of online offerings that also include the WKSU live stream, which parallels the station’s on-air broadcast; WKSU-3, an all-classical music stream; and FolkAlley.com, WKSU’s internationally recognized online stream and Web site devoted to folk, acoustic and tradition-based music.
