WHAT WE DO

Radio Phoenix delivers unique 24/7 programming that focuses on local news and culture, organizations, music and artists. Plus youth programs and more!

WHY WE DO IT

Phoenix, one of the largest U.S. cities, didn't have a community radio station prior to 2008. We meet the needs of the community in a way commercial media cannot.

HOW WE DO IT

Radio Phoenix is supported by community underwriters, businesses and people like you. We provide training for volunteers who want to make a difference in media.

WHERE WE DO IT

Since October 2011, Radio Phoenix has been located at Phoenix Center for the Arts in downtown Phoenix, an area designated as the arts district. We love it!
