Thank You, Richard Winham
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.

A Message from Richard
The art of living, according to the philosopher, is to find your work; thanks to you, our listeners, I have—and for that I will always be more grateful than I could express in words.Richard Winham
