Classic Acadiana 92.5!
This is Ville Platte's best Cajun station. They're not as into it all as WWOZ out of New Orleans, they're more low-key on the accordion music. They have certain DJs who come in and play some swamp music and practice their french creole language, with some talk shows, call in shows where they converse in french creole. It's a dying language and this station does a good job of letting people continue to hear such a beautiful language.
There are sure a lot of advertisements on this station. I wish they'd make it a public station where they don't have to play ads. I have yet to hear any call in contests, but they have some contests on their website.
I wish they'd stream this better online. You can listen to KVPI on their website.
The music is varied! Every 2-4 hours, they have a new DJ come in who plays something completely different. My favorite is Shannon who is a Casey Casum sound-alike who makes snarky rock n' roll comments about bands from 1978. read more
