Radio Artifact is an integrated multimedia platform featuring a state of the art soundstage, FM and online radio broadcasting and a record label.
Radio Artifact aims to create memorable experiences through our platform; whether it be from the quality of music production we attain, the experiences we create with our soundstage via live performances and the opportunities we can present for independent musicians
Radio Artifact started in October 2017 and has grown to be the home for local music in Cincinnati. We immediately filled a sadly missed niche left by the closure of the only other local-music radio station in the region and leaned into the wish to be a true advocate for the Cincinnati music and entertainment scene.
Our first broadcast started on a dim signal on 1660 AM, grew to a worldwide stream, and now includes working with our partners at the local NPR affiliate (Cincinnati Public Radio) and airing on 91.7 WVXU Cincinnati FM HD2.
We are on the air 24/7.
In addition to the local library of music, which now includes thousands of tracks from hundreds of artists, we also have dozens of local programs.
Find us at radioartifact.com, on WVXU.org, on the WVXU app (Google Play and iTunes), and many of our shows can be found on iTunes' Podcast library.
This labor of love has been a delight to create and a joy to maintain. We LOVE music. We LOVE Cincinnati. And we LOVE helping musicians connect with audiences. Your participation means that we can devote more of our time, energy, and skills to creating a better, bigger platform for our artistic friends.
Help support the station through our new Patreon page and help make a difference for music, expression, and community.
