A Farewell to a Legend – And a Celebration of His Legacy

This June, WUTC invites the public to celebrate the extraordinary career of Richard Winham, who is retiring after 38 years on the air. Since 1987, Richard has been more than a radio host. He has been a mentor, a curator of culture, and a voice that has connected our community through music, curiosity, and heart.

His impact reaches far beyond our studios. Richard launched WUTC’s first freeform music program, mentored countless student DJs, and gave local musicians, writers, and artists a place to be heard. Through his work, Richard helped define the creative identity of Chattanooga itself.

Now, as he signs off, we come together to say thank you—and to continue the work he inspired.
