**Overview** Are you ready for your next challenge? Or maybe you're ready to take that next step up in your career? Can't decide if you want to live near the beach or near the mountains? Audacy Richmond is the perfect place for your career and for living. You'll get to work with established and dominant stations in the market including two high-powered FM stations, one directional AM news-talk station, one non-directional AM sports-talk station, as well as more FM stations and translators. We own a few of our facilities, too, which means you'll never be bored! For the history buffs, our Varina transmitter site holds WRVA-AM and WRVQ-FM and was built in 1938 on an old battlefield. Richmond is Market #51 and located less than two hours from the mountains, two hours from the beach and two hours from our nation's capital. We have a mixture of city-living and country-living; your choice! With the James River running right through our city, there is easy access for kayaking, rock climbing and hiking. Richmond is the only urban city in America with Class III and Class IV rapids running through our downtown area! We have a thriving restaurant culture in Richmond, including craft breweries and award-winning cuisine. Tired of it being hot all the time or cold for too many months out of the year, Richmond has all four seasons to enjoy. A taste of some of the projects we have comping up; were converting our studios to the Axia network with brand new boards; we are installing a new antenna for WTVR-FM and rearranging that transmitter site space.
