WHUS is the commercial-free radio station of the University of Connecticut. It is one of the oldest radio stations in Connecticut, with roots going back to just after World War I. It is a community radio station, featuring members of the student body and the local community around Storrs, Connecticut.

This allows WHUS to operate 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. WHUS broadcasts a diverse mix of music, from polka to hip-hop, with several public affairs shows as well. It also provides commercial-free coverage of 10 sports at UConn.

In 1997, WHUS built a new tower that allows it's signal to reach a 40-mile radius. This expansion into the Hartford area helped grow it's audience.

In 2005, WHUS was voted "Best College Radio" by readers of the Hartford Advocate for the 4th year in a row.
