They usually don't do drive time. They don't get paid. Sometimes, in the wee hours, they wonder if anyone is even listening.
Yet hundreds of locals do radio on their own nickels, and without them, the local airwaves would sound very different indeed.
Charlottesville has two non-commercial stations that are largely driven by volunteers. All of WTJU's DJs are volunteers, and after 7pm, so are WNRN's.
WTJU general manager Chuck Taylor counts "in excess of 200" volunteers, including those who work behind the scenes. "If there were no volunteers, we'd have to have purchased programming," he says.
