WRNI-FM produces This I Believe―Rhode Island, a weekly program modeled on the popular 1950s radio series of the same name hosted by Edward R. Murrow. Hosted by Frederic Reamer, the program shares personal stories and experiences of the people of Rhode Island, allowing listeners to share their own beliefs and experiences through essays presented on air. Several times a year, on One Square Mile, WRNI-FM’s devotes an entire week to cover one square mile of Rhode Island from a variety of angles: politics, education, health care, economy, and history.
