99.1 WQRT LPFM is a non-commercial, experimental on-air home for contemporary art, music, and community. Licensed by the FCC with a reach of most of the city of Indianapolis, Indiana (500,000+ people), WQRT is owned and managed by Big Car Collaborative — a nonprofit arts organization and cross-discipline collective of artists. With the help of volunteers, we broadcast from Listen Hear — our sound-art space and audio studio in the Garfield Park neighborhood.

LP (low-power) means that this is a short but impressive terrestrial radio signal traveling on the airwaves. WQRT is designed to reach our local community and to be small on purpose. We’re looking forward to learning and growing together in creative ways. As things evolve, we’ll add new features like internet streaming and more!

While the music rolls, you’ll notice that we’re introducing educational, cultural and community programming a little at a time. As it ramps up, we hope that it will include YOU.

Come to this meeting if you’d like to be involved.
