East Village Radio (EVR), begun in August 2003,[1] is an Internet radio station which broadcasts from a storefront studio in the East Village of Manhattan. Originally a pirate radio station broadcasting at 88.1 MHz, the station shut down on May 23, 2014[2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] and briefly relaunched in 2015 in conjunction with Dash Radio before once again shuttering in 2016.[10][11]
East Village Radio relaunched again in July 2024.[12]
EVR's street-level studio is on 21 First Avenue at East 1st Street. According to an MTA (Metropolitan Transit Authority) study of pedestrian traffic in New York City, almost 1,800 (1,000 during off-peak travel times) pedestrians passed by the sound booth per hour.
Over 60 DJs and hosts provide 16 hours of free live programming a day, in two-hour show blocks, seven days a week. Programming features a mix of music, news, comedy and commentary. Music ranges from indie to new wave to coldwave to hip hop and post punk to vintage jazz, funk and soul to house, techno and ambient electronic.
EVR supports the free radio movement.[citation needed]
