WRIR-LP 97.3 FM is 100% volunteer-powered public radio station in Richmond, Virginis. We are the largest LPFM in the country (in terms of audience and content creation) that is operated by passionate volunteers - 180 and more people. Our volunteers manage the station; that includes the President of the Board, the people behind the mic or the ones keeping the lights on and the broadcast on air. Together we make up a community of cultural, social and economic backgrounds from all over the Richmond area. What brings us together is a belief in truly independent community radio.
Since January 1, 2005, WRIR has stood as a symbol against the commercial radio programming. We are the voice of the community empowered, a showcase of our Richmond community with all its diversity and strength in creativity.

About WRIR 97.3 LPFM
Location:
1621 W Broad Street, 2nd floor (stairs), Richmond, VA 23220, US
Mission Statement
WRIR airs underrepresented music, news and views in order to provide a platform for cultural diversity in Richmond. In other words, we play what other stations won’t. We are also a true community radio station. This means we are locally owned and, by charter, can never be bought out by any non-local entity. WRIR also represents the community by its many volunteers. WRIR’s FCC license to operate is held by the nonprofit group, Virginia Center for Public Press (VCPP). VCPP is a 501(c)3 organization that’s funded through contributions from listeners, underwriting sponsorships and grants.
Description
WRIR is 100% volunteer powered. We are the largest LPFM in the country (in terms of audience and content creation) operated by passionate volunteers-some pitch in a couple times each year, and others spend 20+ hours each week here at the station. You will volunteer with 200+ people of many cultural, social and economic backgrounds from all over the Richmond area. What brings us together is a belief in truly independent community radio.
