Wrfg Fm Community Radio

YA, Good morning blues. Every morning! Always felt like blues was more of a 3:33 am sort of thing, but I get it when I can get it, because Mr. Lee and UK Bob and the others jam some very cool tracks.
WRFG also has some pretty radical (in a good way) political broadcasts and occasionally they transmit stuff from the SF Bay Area, like Democracy Now or Commonwealth Club, or cool hip hop stuff from Oakland radio.
LOVE it.
Cheers~

I can’t believe no one in Unilocal-​land has reviewed this yet!!!
OK, maybe that’s because their transmitter is still only 50,000 watts and doesn’t reach OTP, or maybe it’s because of all the competition at the cool end of the dial, but this station warrants a listen.
This is true community radio… commercial-​free, sometimes format free. Often, it sounds like the DJs are people enticed off the street with free beer, but that’s what makes it so fun. Since the station is in L5P, I guess that’s the community they serve, meaning you get things like the «Lambda Hour» and «Black Revolution Perspectives», and at lunch «Hard Knock Radio» a hip/​hop/​politics show straight outta Compton. Admittedly those things are not my bag, but there are some interesting ideas put forth, and a wise man gets his information from multiple sources. In the morning, there’s a blues show, and in the evening, a bluegrass show hosted by a super nice guy who sounds like Priscilla, Queen of the Desert — you can’t get that on Sirius. Later in the evening is the jazz show, heavily laced with spoken word.
Like most public radio, the variety is best enjoyed if you have a schedule of the shows — this is available on
(when the site is up…). The station turns 35 this month, and they usually have a blues BBQ around Labor Day.
If you’re intown of Lilburn and Mableton, I encourage you to tune into this Atlanta institution at 89.3 on your FM dial, and listen to the finest radio money can’t buy. It can be your little way of sticking it to the Man…
