What Our Listeners are Saying
Grew up listening to WNRN and so excited to finally become a member! WNRN has directly influenced the music I listen to and the businesses I choose to support!
Excellent. Keeps me going on long days at work.
Favorite station all the time! Especially love Dead Show and Fresh Roots New Blues. Thank you for playing great music!
I love this station! My favorite part is hearing about local bands I love and finding out about new artists I wouldn’t be exposed to on other stations. Thank you so much!
I love WNRN. I’ve learned about so many amazing musicians. Plus whenever I email the station when I’ve missed the name of the artist, someone always emails me back quickly to answer my question.
I love the station and variety of music that is played. Have discovered many new artists that I have added to my personal playlists.
Keep bringing us the great mix of music and the new artists that stir the soul and keep telling us about the many options to see and hear quality music in Richmond and central Virginia and west to the Valley!
Keep up the rockin’ tuneage!
Love the variety, the support of local musicians, knowledgable DJ’s.
Love you guys! I can’t begin to tell you them amount of music I have discovered since I started listening. Keep up the great work!
Moved to Lynchburg from NYC almost 5 years ago and as a music lover I was thrilled to find WNRN. It is like WNRN was curated to my own personal tastes in music. A great source for new music and a huge asset for Central Virginia. WNRN stacks up with best radio stations in the country. Thank you for all that you do!
My whole family supports WNRN. It is practically the only station we listen to. Even our college student, on his Ramen budget, donates monthly. Thank you WNRN.
We have listened and supported WNRN forever. Evenings we used to switch channels for World Cafe — now, we never have to change the channel. Will continue to support this station for the wonderful music, and generous and knowledgeable people who run WNRN. It is our station!
I love WNRN. I listen now matter where I live or travel. This station is one of my all-time favorite things. Thanks for being so amazing, WNRN!

Best music on the radio. Great current songs blended with great older stuff. Dead and Phriends on Saturday must listen show. But you are my go to music station any time of the day.
By far my favorite radio station I have ever listened to. You guys never play a bad song and I continue to grow my music library because of you guys. I absolutely love it!
For the great on-air music, live shows, and community support! Independent radio is crucial to the fabric of the Central Virginia community!
I grew up around Charlottesville and have listened to WNRN as long as it’s been on the air. Traveling and living in other places, I’ve realized how unique and amazing my hometown radio station is. I still stream it and tell my friends.
