WRHU (88.7 FM) is a college radio station licensed to Hempstead, New York, owned and operated by Hofstra University and broadcasting an eclectic radio format.

Since the 2010–11 NHL season, WRHU has been the radio home of New York Islanders games. Current Hofstra students produce, engineer, and perform on-air duties on all NY Islander game broadcasts alongside veteran NY Islander play-by-play announcer Chris King.

The station was named the National Association of Broadcasters' Non-Commercial Station of the Year in 2014, 2017, 2019, and 2022. It has also been ranked the number one college radio station in the country in The Princeton Review's 2015 and 2016 college rankings.

In 2023, WRHU and BUSH Radio launched the 1World Community Radio Network, an international collaboration highlighting community news from a positive solutions based perspective. Originally hosted by Andy Gladding, Jamie-Lee Freidricks, Mariama Kabbah and Cody Hmelar, the show now airs on multiple stations globally.
