Welcome to Ithaca Community Radio and
Fingerlakes Community Radio
Soon our programming on 88.1 will no longer rebroadcast WSQX, but instead air the shows we've been airing on 91.9 and 89.9 in the Watkins Glen area. We're very excited to finally be airing programs that serve our communities and reflect our interests.
Of course we'll air programs like Democracy Now!, Free Speech Radio News, and Counterspin, but we'll also be carrying some programs that are new to our area which we are very excited about. Among these programs are: Flashpoints, Explorations, Hard Knock Radio, along with music and cultural affairs. We'll also continue to work with our friends at WSKG to expand the choices available to listeners in the Finger Lakes.
Here's a link to a live recording of the 4th Annual Izzy Awards from Ithaca College. You can listen online or download the program for listening later at your convenience.
The Izzy awards were presented to "ALEC Exposed" editor/chief analyst Lisa Graves of the Center for Media and Democracy (who has been on nearly every news show on TV and radio over the past week in response to the "Hold Your Ground" law in Florida that is being blamed for the death of Travon Martin) and journalist Sharif Abdel Kouddous, who reported for Democracy Now! from Tahrir Square in Cairo during and after the Egyptian people's resistance moverment.
Our new transmitter site in Watkins Glen is now broadcasting at 91.9 FM and our Odessa transmitter is broadcasting on 89.9 FM.
Programming on WRFI/WINO now includes Democracy Now! at 10 AM and again at 5PM. We are also featuring Uprising, Between the Lines, EcoShock Radio, and more. Have an idea for a program you'd like us to carry? Please let us know. If you'd like to develop a programming idea for airing on our community's airwaves, please let us know.
Our next focus will be on supporting community by making it possible to locally produced high quality programs that serve our communities.

Ithaca Community Radio is a local initiative to create a community-owned and operated radio station to serve the communities of the Finger Lakes near Ithaca and Watkins Glen. Although our past efforts have focused on broadcasting WEOS's signal into the Ithaca area, our real mission has always been to build a community-owned and -operated non-profit radio station to serve the Finger Lakes community.
With our new broadcast licenses from the FCC, we are now building a broadcast station and producing shows locally. We'll air programs like Democracy Now!, Free Speech Radio, and local shows such as Unwelcome Guests and Common Talk.
