WUCF has launched BEACON (Broadcast Emergency Alerts and Communications Operations Network), a groundbreaking new emergency broadcast service designed to keep Central Floridians informed and safe with real-time, critical updates. 

How to Use BEACON

Central Florida audiences can now access BEACON in several ways: 

• WUCF FM HD3 Radio Channel (for listeners with HD radio receivers)
• Live streaming on wucf.org/BEACON 
• The BEACON mobile app, available nationwide for free on iOS and Android. Search for “BEACON 24/7 Local Alerts” for real-time local updates.

PBS and WUCF play a critical role in keeping all residents safe. Through our Warning, Alert, Response Network, called PBS WARN, Wireless Emergency Alerts get delivered when they matter most—when other systems fail.
