WRFN is a community LPFM non-commercial radio station in Nashville, Tennessee. It operates at a frequency of 98.9 MHz and is branded as Radio Free Nashville. The station features a mix of music, talk and public affairs programming, almost all with a decidedly liberal or leftist political perspective largely not found on other area media outlets. WRFN is the only radio station in Tennessee that broadcasts programming from the Pacifica network.
The station went on the air in April 2005, with transmitters and studios located at the nearby community of Pasquo, Tennessee, 15 miles west of downtown Nashville. WRFN occupies the same frequency as WANT, which also broadcasts to the Nashville market, but which is located approximately 30 miles east of Nashville; due to the very low power to which WRFN is limited, it causes little interference to WANT.
