Radio Free Nashville

📖 About

Radio Free Nashville (call sign: WRFN-LP) is a listener-supported, volunteer-run low-power community radio station serving Nashville and the broader Middle Tennessee region. Officially launched in April 2005, the station came to fruition as the seventh community radio 'barnraising' project organized by the Prometheus Radio Project. Headquartered originally with its studios and transmitter nestled in the community of Pasquo, Tennessee, roughly 15 miles west of downtown Nashville, the station was established to provide an independent media outlet providing alternative perspectives largely absent from mainstream commercial broadcasting. The station's diverse programming schedule features an eclectic mix of freeform music across all genres, local public affairs, and independent talk content. Notably, Radio Free Nashville carries syndicated progressive news, investigative journalism, and commentary from networks such as Pacifica Radio, offering listeners deep-dive discussions on national and international politics, social justice, and environmental issues. Its unique local shows are produced and hosted by dedicated community volunteers who champion underrepresented voices, local arts, and grassroots activism across the Cumberland region. Operating primarily on 107.1 FM from Pasquo, the station significantly expanded its over-the-air footprint into downtown Nashville proper in December 2014 with the launch of an FM translator (W279CH) broadcasting on 103.7 FM in Hermitage, Tennessee. Supplementing its terrestrial signals, Radio Free Nashville maintains a robust digital presence via live online audio streaming, connecting its distinctive community-driven programming with a loyal global audience.
