WHRW (90.5 FM) is Binghamton University's non-profit, student-run, free-format radio station. The station is licensed and owned by Binghamton University, serving the New York college area. WHRW has operational facilities in Glenn G. Bartle Library Tower and in SUNY Binghamton Student Union.

WHRW is operated by the students of SUNY Binghamton and interested members of the Greater Binghamton community. WHRW operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week and broadcasts using a 2kW transmitter at 90.5 MHz.

WHRW's member body comprises volunteers, who become members first by apprenticing under a current member for a programming season (typically a school semester or over the summer) and then passing a Clearance Exam. Since 1996, station members have participated in a "Station Service" program, by which they accrue hours by accomplishing tasks that support the station. Those hours are then used to determine the member's "slotting priority" when they request a show. This guarantees that those who give more to the station have more opportunities.
