A full house at Barrelhouse Ballroom honored Richard Winham’s 38 years on the air at WUTC
After nearly four decades shaping WUTC’s sound and mentoring generations of student and community broadcasters, Richard Winham is stepping away from the mic.
On June 22, Chattanooga packed Barrelhouse Ballroom to celebrate Winham’s career with a benefit concert featuring performances by some of his favorite local artists and special guests.
The afternoon doubled as a fundraiser for WUTC and a testament to the deep roots Richard has grown in this community — from launching the station’s first original music show to inspiring young voices through the Mocs Mix student program.
As a special highlight, Chattanooga Mayor Tim Kelly’s office officially declared it “Richard Winham Day.”

WUTC would like to extend our sincere thanks to all of the performers, artists, bands, volunteers, and listeners who made this celebration so memorable.
We’re also grateful to our sponsors — Snapdragon Hemp, Play Wash Pint, Play Wash Stay, Nooga Paws, Bleu Fox Cheese Shop, and the Chattanooga Times Free Press — for their generous support of this special event.
