Beamed into the great wide open. WAV is not just radio. We host label specials, tastings and theme shows, give air to dedicated producers, invest in podcasts that make a difference, invite artists from every field. All this in front of a virtual and a live audience, since our studio is part of De Studio & Het Bos, 2 locations in the centre of Antwerp.
