About WQNA

WQNA 95.7 FM was a locally-staffed, all-volunteer, nonprofit community radio station founded in 2004. After years off the air, we are bringing back community radio to Springfield.
The station is owned and operated by Springfield Community Broadcasters, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to creating a diverse, inclusive media platform that reflects the voices of Central Illinois.
As a low-power FM station, WQNA serves the greater Springfield area with locally-produced programming that you won’t find anywhere else on the dial.

Our Mission

WQNA is committed to being a true community radio station — locally staffed, community-focused, and featuring an eclectic mix of programming that represents the diverse voices of Springfield.
Our music programming spans blues, jazz, Americana, folk, classical, world music, and more — genres underrepresented on commercial radio. Combined with local talk shows and community affairs programming, WQNA will be a genuine alternative on the Springfield dial.
