WRRC began broadcasting from the campus of Radford College October 9, 1978.  One year later, when the school became Radford University, our radio station was re-christened with our current call letters "WVRU" to reflect the change.  Now, we're a proud affiliate of Public Radio International (PRI), who provide our station and the New River Valley with excellent music, news, and entertainment programming.  WVRU is also a member of Virginia Public Radio (VPR), a news source offering reports on state government.  Talented students at Radford University make up the bulk of our on-air staff playing Adult Alternative, Jazz and other genres that complement our nationally syndicated programming.
