KRVS Radio Acadie
We are a music- and culture-driven, listener-supported media organization based on the UL Lafayette campus in Burke-Hawthorne Hall. We serve audiences in and beyond Southwest ֱ with content that reflects and amplifies the region’s culture, heritage, values and languages including French, Creole and Spanish.
The station broadcasts more than 70 hours a week of locally produced programs — along with National Public Radio news — on its 100,000-watt broadcast frequency 88.7 FM, at KRVS.org and as HD1 on its app. Our live broadcasts from Lafayette’s major annual festivals and frequent live performances from the Cypress Lake Studio help to define Radio Acadie’s distinctive sound.
KRVS began as a student station in 1963 at the institution then known as Southwestern ֱ University (its call letters stand for the Kampus Radio Voice of Southwestern). Today, growing numbers of students participate in every aspect of the station’s HD2 digital channel. An additional channel, HD3, offers public media news and information programs 24 hours a day.
To hear the HD audio streams, download the free KRVS smartphone app from Google Play or the App Store. Once opened, the three channels will appear at the top of the screen. On KRVS.org, you can listen to any of the channels by clicking “All Streams.” Both the phone and the website allow you to choose the channel you want to hear.
We’re proud to connect the world with Acadiana and Acadiana with the world.
