Our call letters say it all: "WE
VoLunteer." With only three paid staff positions, WEVL reflects the
collective effort of numerous volunteers, both on and
off the air.
WEVL currently broadcasts daily starting at 6 AM. With over
60 different programs airing each week, FM 89.9 offers a
wide variety of music and information presented by programmers
who independently prepare their own shows and who know
their areas of interest well. Blues, rock, Memphis music,
world music, bluegrass and country are just some of the
many musical genres we cover.
Not owned or operated by any government agency, university,
school system, or commercial entity, WEVL's funding comes
primarily from our listeners, who attend our concerts
and benefits, and become members
with any donation of $40 or more. The majority of our
operating revenue is raised during our biannual pledge
drives.
WEVL broadcasts to a radius of approximately 50 miles [view coverage map],
covering the Greater Memphis area, and is heard in three
states and wordwide via the Internet. Our achievements to date reflect 32 years of growth, countless volunteer hours of effort, and millions of dollars in listener donations. And we continue
to work toward greater goals.
