Uh oh,did I just drop a Foreigner reference on What The Fontaine's blog post?

Enzo here (pictured above) sitting in for the venerable, queen of RVA radio, the loverly Fontaine.

All week long I've been asking my fellow WRIR djs if they can remember what the first song they played on WRIR was, hoping to spotlight the diversity of WRIR's eclectic music programing.

As Style Weekly pointed out when we were voted Best Local Radio Station For Music, " Other stations say that they'll "play anything", but WRIR actually does".

So tune in to what promises to be an eclectic 2 hours of music as eclectic as WRIR itself!

We are also in the home stretch of our fund drive, so PLEASE, if you haven't done so yet, NOW IS THE TIME TO DONATE!

Call us here at the station at (804)622-9747 or use the secure on line form over to the right of this page!
