WNIJ is one of the stations that make up Northern Public Radio. Northern IL Radio Information Service, or NIRIS, has been part of the team since 1979. Staffed almost entirely by local volunteers, NIRIS has been producing news and entertainment for the visually and print impaired for decades.
People can listen to NIRIS on free specialized radios we provide. These days we can also be heard streaming live on WNIJ’s website by clicking Listen Live and then choosing NIRIS or on the WNIJ App by tapping NIRIS in the upper right-hand corner.
If not for the generous volunteers giving of their time and talent over the decades, some of them for 25 years or more, NIRIS wouldn’t be what it is today. If you’d like to contribute to that legacy, you can find our contact information at WNIJ.org under the “About” tab.
And NIRIS sends along 30th birthday greetings to its slightly younger sister station!
