870 / 105.3 WWL live

WWL is New Orleans' news, talk and sports station. It broadcasts on 870 AM and 105.3 FM and serves New Orleans and much of the Gulf South under the slogan "New Orleans' News, Talk & Sports". The station is owned by Audacy, and here you can listen to WWL live online, free. The online stream is offered to listeners inside the United States; outside the country it may not play because of rights restrictions.

News and talk

WWL is where New Orleans turns for news: local reporting, traffic and weather, and talk shows about the city, Louisiana politics and daily life. During hurricanes and storms, it is one of the most important sources of information in the region, and many families keep it on when the weather turns.

Saints and LSU

Sports have a big place on WWL. The New Orleans Saints are the heart of football season, and LSU and the region's colleges keep the talk going year-round, with callers from across Louisiana and Mississippi.

A powerful signal

WWL's 870 AM frequency is a clear-channel signal: at night it can be heard across a wide area of the South and the central United States, and the FM simulcast on 105.3 makes it easy to hear in the city.

A New Orleans institution

WWL is one of the oldest and best-known stations in the South, and its call letters have been part of New Orleans life for generations.

Sister stations

WWL shares ownership with other Audacy stations in New Orleans.
