KRVS FM 88.7 Radio Acadie

A non-commercial public radio station licensed by the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, operating under the Radio Acadie identity in service of the Acadiana region. The station has historically relied on a combination of donor support and volunteer contributions to sustain its programming and operations. In 2025, it faced significant financial challenges following federal funding cutoffs and austerity measures imposed by its license holder, UL Lafayette, yet continued to serve listeners through community fundraising efforts including events such as the Park Bistro Holiday Fundraiser. The station maintains a notable commitment to local cultural programming, including live broadcasts from Festivals Acadiens et Creoles, a major celebration of Cajun and Creole heritage in the region. Its news content is produced in partnership with Louisiana public radio affiliates WWNO and WRKF, covering state and regional affairs ranging from education policy and local governance to Mardi Gras traditions. KRVS draws support from its listener community and positions itself as a culturally anchored public media outlet with programming that reflects the distinctive Francophone heritage and contemporary civic life of south Louisiana.
