WRIQ (89.7 MHz) is a National Public Radio formatted broadcast radio station licensed to Charles City, Virginia , serving the Richmond –Petersburg area.[4] Radio IQ network, simulcasting the NPR news and talk programming of flagship WVTF . WRIQ is owned by Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (Virginia Tech) through its fundraising arm, the Virginia Tech Foundation .[5]
History [ edit ]
American Family Association launched the station as WAUQ in 2000,[1] American Family Radio network which featured a mix of Christian teaching and Contemporary Christian music .[6] [7]
On August 18, 2015, Educational Media Foundation purchased the station from the American Family Association for $1.25 million.[8] [9] [10] WLRJ .[2]
On April 17, 2017, WLRJ began stunting with a continuously repeating informational loop informing listeners that K-Love in Richmond had moved, and directing listeners to EMF's recently acquired stations on 98.9 FM (WLFV ) and 100.3 FM (WKYV ).[11]
On April 26, 2017, WLRJ began relaying EMF's Radio Nueva Vida network.[12]
On October 10, 2019, EMF reached a deal to sell WNVU to the Virginia Tech Foundation for $2.15 million. EMF had floated Virginia Tech intended to make WNVU part of its main NPR news and talk service, Radio IQ, as part of its effort to expand its reach outside its base in southwestern Virginia.[13] [14] Lexington, Virginia , which became WIQR.
Since 2009, WVTF had aired its programming on a low-powered translator at 92.5 FM, which is fed by the third HD Radio subchannel of commercial radio station WURV . The purchase of WRIQ gave WVTF a full-powered signal in the Richmond area for the first time, giving much of the area an alternative source for NPR programming alongside Richmond's established NPR member, WCVE-FM . WRIQ operates at only 27,000 watts from a short (by modern broadcasting standards) 228-foot tower east of Richmond, resulting in Petersburg and other close-in suburbs only getting a Grade B signal. Nonetheless, with the addition of WRIQ, the Radio IQ network now provided at least secondary coverage from Wise in the southwestern corner of the Commonwealth to the fringes of Hampton Roads .[14]
