What Software Do I Need in Order to Listen?
To listen, you need to have either the Windows Media player or RealOne Player software installed on your computer. Both can be downloaded for free via the links at the right. RealNetworks offers a subscription plan and an enhanced player for which you need to pay a fee, but neither of these are required to listen to WKSU, the free version will do fine.
We post new content, such as news reports, in both Windows Media and RealOne Player formats. However, older archived content is only available in RealPlayer format and will require that player to listen.
