WSOU airs a number of public affairs, religious, and community programming shows. These are hosted, in some cases, by community volunteers. WSOU's community programs are designed to serve "under-served" audiences. If you want to propose a public affairs show or community program to WSOU, please contact Tommy Kvaloe, Community Programming Manager, WSOU-FM, Seton Hall University, 400 South Orange Ave., South Orange, NJ, 07079 or WSOUCommunity@shu.edu
