Wireless Coverage

The Valley Voice broadcasts over the air on a low-power FM SUBCARRIER (SCA) signal carried "piggyback" style on Public Radio WMRA's standard FM signal. The SUBCARRIER signal cannot be heard on typical radios — instead the VALLEY VOICE buys and lends out special receivers to medically-qualified people.

This wireless subcarrier service provides coverage to most of Rockingham, Augusta and Shenandoah counties, excluding some areas that are shielded by mountainous terrain. Coverage is also available in much of Charlottesville City and Albemarle and Nelson Counties.
