Here is a list of selected public radio and college radio stations in Virginia. Most of these play independent label releases and vinyl as well as more established fare. Some even have special "local / regional" shows and welcome product from Virginia music makers. Anyway, In the future we may compile a list of those commercial alternative stations (some ARE better than others), but with their ad budgets and "connections," they probably don't need our help in spreading their corporate-alternative gospels. If we've left any pertinent college radio station or locally-minded public radio station out of this mix, please let us know. We will updating this list in the very near future.
