POP Goes RVA’s Favorite Radio Station!

 

 

 

For the 5th year in a row, the ever discerning readers of Style Weekly have voted WRIR Richmond's Best Local Radio Station, and I continue to be humbled to be part of a station that's entirely run by non-paid volunteers, on a budget of just a little over a hundred thousand dollars a year, that consistantly beats out every other station in town that's mostly run by "radio professionals" on yearly budgets in the millions.

So, we'll take yet another well deserved celebratory POP victory lap!
