Richard Winham

WUTC's Host Emeritus

Richard Winham joined WUTC five years after the station began broadcasting to the Chattanooga area and the Tennessee Valley - retiring in June 2025, followed by an encore presentation of the best shows in his archive.

As an integral part of the team at WUTC for thirty-eight years, Richard quietly became one of Chattanooga’s most familiar voices - whose mix of music and conversations with musicians, writers and local influencers built the heartbeat of the station you hear today.

Music has the power to touch people and make them see the world differently - that is the enduring spirit of Richard Winham on WUTC.
