WRAB 107.1 FM
WRAB 107.1 FM Helping Hand Radio is DeKalb County Alabama's community radio - free classifieds, country music, and Archie Anderson's Helping Hand Show connecting Fort Payne, Rainsville, and Sand Mountain to all of North Alabama.
DeKalb County, Alabama stretches across the northeastern corner of the state where Lookout Mountain rises from the valley floor and Sand Mountain's broad plateau captures the sky. From the county seat of Fort Payne - birthplace of country music legends Alabama - to the farming communities of Rainsville, Fyffe, and Crossville, DeKalb County is one of North Alabama's most distinctive and deeply rooted regions. And from the first broadcast in 1961, WRAB 107.1 FM Helping Hand Radio has served it all.
DeKalb County's economic mix of manufacturing, agriculture, and outdoor tourism makes the free classifieds on HelpingHandRadio.com a natural fit.
