WHYR 96.9 FM is a non-profit, non-commercial listener-supported community radio station featuring local programs and a small selection of syndicated programming.
Our Mission: To be an open voice to inform, connect, amplify and entertain the diverse communities of Baton Rouge.
Why Community Radio?WHYR can help build a stronger community by giving a voice to members of the
community not served by commercial media.
As part
of WHYR's mission, we seek to bring together the Baton Rouge community
and provide a public space—both virtual and physical—for the community
to collectively work together towards creating a more unified Baton
Rouge. "Low-power FM will allow schools, churches and other local organizations to use the public airwaves to make their voices heard. In short, low-power FM enhances democracy on the dial..."
--- William Kennard, former chairman of the F.C.C.
