WHYR is excited to announce that our radio station has been selected as the 2022 Grand Marshal for Mid City Gras! Mid City Gras is a celebratory parade highlighting the essence of Mid City and showcasing the diversity of our community with a spirit of inclusiveness that positively contributes to the progression of our city.

Baton Rouge Community Radio WHYR 96.9 FM continues to broadcast unique and relevant programming on the airwaves throughout our city and beyond. As a volunteer-led, community-supported organization, we would not be able to do this without the continued support of individuals like you.

As you consider where to donate your dollars this season of giving, please know that we count on and deeply appreciate your support to sustain our station’s operations in 2022.
