About 94.7 The WAVE
94.7 The WAVE is Los Angeles' smooth R&B and soul station, broadcasting across Southern California with a format that has made it one of the most listened-to adult contemporary and R&B signals in the country. The WAVE occupies a specific and valuable space in L.A.'s radio landscape — sophisticated, soulful, and consistent, drawing an audience of adults who want the warmth and depth of R&B and soul without the abrasiveness of hip-hop radio.
The playlist covers the full arc of contemporary and classic R&B and soul — Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, and Aretha Franklin anchor the classic end, while artists like Anita Baker, Luther Vandross, Whitney Houston, and more recent smooth R&B acts fill out the contemporary side. The WAVE's programming is polished and adult-oriented, built for listening during the long L.A. commute, for Sunday morning at home in the hills, or for a quiet dinner in Silver Lake or Culver City. It's the sound of Los Angeles at its most relaxed.
94.7 The WAVE is available on FM across the Los Angeles metropolitan area and streams live online for free. No sign-up required. For Southern California listeners who want soul and R&B with a sophisticated L.A. sensibility behind it, The WAVE remains one of the city's most respected and enduring radio stations.
