Russian-funded radio isn’t the only radio station on the D.C. dial sponsored by a government. As of today, D.C. now has its own station.

Called DC Radio and available on 96.3 HD4, it’s a partnership between the city government and WHUR (the station owned and operated by Howard University), which provides the bandwidth. As a station on HD4, listeners need an HD radio to tune in. You can also listen online.

“DC Radio will offer residents in all eight wards one more way they can access D.C. government, learn about important citywide programs and initiatives, and hear from the people who keep our city creative and informed,” said Mayor Muriel Bowser in a release.

Bowser can add radio host to her resume—she’s the host of the show “The District Minute,” which promises “a weekly capsule of mayoral activities and important D.C. events.” Bowser’s press secretary, LaToya Foster, hosts “Voice of the City,” which will “provide the community with information on topics that report on the mayor’s initiatives to continue to provide leadership and support to the concerns of the District residents.” D.C. Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton also scored a hosting gig with “On the Air with Eleanor Holmes Norton.”

The Washington D.C. Economic Partnership gets its own show, too, called “The Economic Partnership Business Buzz,” as does the Court Services and Offender Supervision Agency for the District of Columbia.

The Office of Cable Television, Film, Music and Entertainment manages the station, and not all shows on the 24 hours of programming are hosted by politicians or agencies. Some will feature local music like “Display,” “DC Music Rocks,” “Beats and Beans,” and “The Sound,” highlight events and D.C.-made products, and more. OCTFME gets meta with “Ask Marcella,” which “further defines the functionality of OCTFME and its role to help D.C. residents have a better relationship with their cable provider.”

With DC Radio, the District is only the second jurisdiction in the country to own and operate a full-power radio station, per the mayor’s office.
