FAQs:
A student organization of the University of Kentucky, WRFL is a non-profit radio station that first hit the airwaves in 1988. WRFL is dedicated to educating students and community members on the best new, unheard-of & underappreciated music across the decades up to the very latest releases. Our 80+ volunteer DJs are committed to serving the UK and Central Kentucky community by providing an alternative to commercial radio 24/7/365 through our quality programming and low-cost or free concerts and music festivals. Located in the Student Center, WRFL is the place for you if you’re interested in music, concerts, or alternative culture.

Do I get paid to DJ? Nope. DJ’s are all volunteer, but we do have paid student positions available.
