About Me

WRIR Richmond Independent Radio is a fresh new voice, on the air since January 1, 2005.. We broadcast music you DON’T hear on the radio dial with LIVE LOCAL DJ’s doing REAL LIVE SHOWS. In addition to our locally produced music shows, we offer a wide range of National and Local news programming that covers issues unrepresented by other media.

We are also a true community radio station. That means- -We are locally owned, and by charter can never be bought out by any non local entity. -The station is operated by volunteers from the Richmond community. Our staff consists of your neighbors playing music, sharing news and operating the station.

Thank you for listening.The All Volunteer staff of WRIR, Richmond Independent Radio, 97.3 FM.

Please check out our friends as some of them are our dj’s, and others are bands. Give them a listen and let them know that you heard about them through us.

Listen even if you don’t live here and your surfing myspace: our stream

You can call into the studio: 649-9737 Or our office: 622-9747(WRIR)

if you want to send us your music: WRIR/co- music director PO Box 4787 Richmond, VA 23220
