The programming lineup at KRVS reflects a deep passion for regional music and storytelling. The station plays Cajun, Zydeco, Blues, Jazz, Swamp Pop, Swamp Rock, and Louisiana singer/songwriter music, among many other distinct musical styles created and played in Louisiana. Dirty Rice is the longest-running Louisiana music show on the station, now hosted on an alternating-week basis by KRVS Chief Engineer Karl Fontenot. Additional standout programs include Louisiana Eats! — hosted by Poppy — a radio show for people who cook and love to eat well, all with a Louisiana point of view. Live broadcasts from Lafayette’s major annual festivals and frequent live performances from the Cypress Lake Studio help to define Radio Acadie’s distinctive sound.
