Asheville FM is a nonprofit, freeform radio station run primarily by volunteers and focused on featuring locally created content that is reflective of and centered around the Asheville area and western North Carolina in general.

The station currently has 60 shows, all hosted by locals, in addition to Democracy Now!

The station's funding sources include underwriting sales, semi-annual onair membership drives, and general donations.

The passage of the Low-Power Community Radio Act of 2010 provided Asheville FM an opportunity to move to a broadcast frequency.

From a 20-foot tower on top of the Hotel Indigo in downtown Asheville, Asheville FM's signal reaches a 5- to 10-mile radius, though reception in some areas depends on the local terrain.
