WRFG 89.3 Broadcasts 24 Hours a day at 100,000 Watts. WRFG provides a voice for those who have been traditionally denied access to the broadcast media and the involvement of a broad base of community elements to guarantee that access.
Since going on the air in 1973, WRFG has filled a void on the Atlanta airwaves. WRFG was the first Atlanta radio station since the 1950s to feature such regional musical forms as blues, bluegrass and jazz. Reflecting Atlanta's emergence as an "international city", it pioneered programming oriented toward the area's growing Latin, African, Asian and Caribbean communities. WRFG was the first station to carry live broadcasts from the Arts Festival of Atlanta and the Georgia Grassroots Festival. WRFG's achievements extend beyond music alone. WRFG produced live broadcasts of speakers at the Hungry Club, Atlanta's famous weekly interracial forum. It was the first and only radio station to air the work of local poets, playwrights and authors on a regular basis. WRFG has also initiated programming directed toward Atlanta's neighborhoods, the disabled, alternative lifestyles, and other special audiences. Its in-depth coverage of event such as the 1987 rebellion at the Atlanta Federal Penitentiary has received widespread acclaim.
WRFG's documentaries merit special attention. Between 1977 and 1980, WRFG produced the 50-part "Living Atlanta!' series on Atlanta's history. "Living Atlanta!' won national awards and established a tradition of documentary excellence at WRFG. In the fall of 1989, the University of Georgia Press published a book based on this award-winning series.
Love progressive public affairs programs on radio free Georgia!

I’ve been a volunteer and cohost at Radio Free Georgia since 2009 and know it’s a rare gem in media —a 50+ year old non-commercial indie radio station run by volunteers in Atlanta who care about justice causes and interesting music. The WRFG app helps me listen on the go from anywhere in the world. My friend melody and I cohost the animal rights and environmental programs at 6pm eastern time each Wednesday. Check us out!

I LOVE WRFG!!! But I am so frustrated that when I am on the move I cannot listen via the app. The comments show that several other of your supporters are similarly frustrated. Please please please tend to this technical issue so that we can continue to enjoy the unique and vital programming you provide!
The app is outdated but WRFG is the greatest app on my phone

The music, the spirit, the grooves, the critical thought that is produced on this radio stations shows is unmatched elsewhere, anywhere. And that’s even considering all the different places online that may be used to supplement one’s musical inclinations… the organic nature of WRFG and the talent that keeps it going makes it truly unique. So although the app is a bit counterintuitive I will gladly open it any time I need to experience a piece of WRFGs spirit and mission.
WRFG 89.3 FM Community Radio is a Gem!

WRFG 89.3 FM is a gem in the Atlanta area radio lineup! Purely community supported and free of corporate commercial pressure and influence. It provides listeners genuinely alternative music, community interest perspectives and news. I am proud WRFG monthly sustainer and encourage others to join in supporting this truly local treasure!
