I’m aiming to raise $1000 before 8am. YES, it’s a big goal. The Big Antenna problems are going to eat into (possibly devour???) our budget. We don’t yet know exactly how much it will cost. So please support independent community radio at WRIR.org. Thank you!

Broadcast AND stream may be down for a few hours because our TALK computer crapped out & the component that kept something playing on the stream is linked to the BIG ANTENNA power problem.

In other news… it’s still WRIR Fund Drive. (Now with fewer places to mention it.) Please donate at WRIR.org

It’s Fall Fund Drive time! Tonight is a Very Mercury Falls Halloween!

On October 12th, 4 days before the WRIR-LP 97.3 FM Richmond, VA Richmond fall fund drive was scheduled to start, power to the station's antenna was cut. We've got a temporary fix with limited range, and we're still streaming online, but a more permanent solution is going to be expensive.

Your favorite radio station isn't owned by a giant corporation, programmed by an algorithm, or particularly interested in making everybody happy.

It would mean a lot to me if you'd give something. Even if you can't give at a premium level, $20, $10, $5- anything is helpful.

Hi RVA if you’ve been wondering where WRIR went on your FM dial well that’s a story for another time but the good news we are back broadcasting to a reduced range but none the less!

Remember you can always listen online at wrir.org which is a great place to DONATE AS WELL

Hood, Rikki Rakki, & more!
And we hope you'll treat us by donating during our Fall Fund Drive at wrir.org! Besides needing money for all the usual upkeep and bills, we need some extra right now to help us dig out of our recent and unexpected transmitter issues. 2/3

Making a coat hook off of the idea of using painter's tape to affix a 3D printed hook to the wall such that the tape is concealed at least nominally works. I'm fairly sure I still need to adjust the design a bit because when trying with a heavier coat I could […]
