WFOS (88.7 FM) is a non-commercial, listener-supported, public radio station licensed to Chesapeake, Virginia, and serving the Southside of Hampton Roads.[1] WFOS is owned by Hampton Roads Educational Telecommunications Association.[3] Its format includes oldies, Motown, adult standards and other past musical styles.
WFOS is a Class B1 station. It has an effective radiated power (ERP) of 15,500 watts. But due to its short tower, its signal only covers the Southside of Hampton Roads. The transmitter is on Elementary Road in Chesapeake, on property owned by the local school district.[4]
