Hi all,

I found 107.7 Virginia House Radio some years back and it became my favorite station in Richmond. Recently I have not been able to find the station, and a new station is in place of it. Have they changed or been shut down? Please let me know, I miss the amazing bluegrass and old country so much.

As you've probably figured out by now, that frequency is currently occupied by WJFN 820 AM's translator W299DB.

I'll take a wild guess and say they were a legal LPFM that had to give up the ghost for financial or other reasons and the AM station applied for the vacant spot on the dial for it's translator?
