What does Independence mean to you?

Please make your contribution to WRNI.

The Independence Campaign
Since its inception in 1998, WRNI was controlled and subsidized by WBUR in Boston. That's no longer the case. WRNI is now an independent operation. That gives us new opportunities to create programs, news reports and features that focus on topics that matter to Rhode Island. Independence also means that Rhode Island, not Boston, is responsible for funding this station. Please give now in support of our only independent NPR News Station.

WRNI Rhode Island's NPR News Station In a few minutes, we're going to troubleshoot our pledge phone system. You can help by calling 1-866-929-1290 from 10:00 to 10:05 AM. It's kind of like calling in for a pledge drive, but you don't have to give any money. (We had a few dropped calls in the last pledge drive, so we want to make sure we don't have the problem again). Thanks!
