WMRA is a Public Radio formatted broadcast radio station licensed to Harrisonburg, Virginia. Repeater stations serve Charlottesville, Lexington, Winchester and Farmville, Virginia. WMRA is owned and operated by James Madison University.
The network broadcasts primarily NPR news and talk programming, with classical music weekday evenings, and folk and blues on the weekends, along with programs such as Car Talk and A Prairie Home Companion. Original programs produced by WMRA include Virginia Insight, The Spark, Acoustic Cafe, and Blues Valley; among the shows' guests have been Julian Bond, Lawrence Wright, Robin and Linda Williams, Tim Kaine, Ken Cuccinelli, David Toscano, George Allen, Thomas Blatt, Bob McDonnell, David Swanson, and Edward L. Ayers. WMRA has hosted public events with appearances by Ira Glass, Baxter Black, Liane Hansen, and Carl Kasell --the latter two at the American Shakespeare Center. WMRA staff alumni were instrumental in establishing the Classical 24 satellite network which provides daytime and overnight classical music to scores of radio stations nationwide.
