WRFI (91.9 FM) is a community radio station broadcasting at 91.9 MHz, licensed to Watkins Glen, New York and on W201CD 88.1 MHz, licensed to Ithaca, New York. The station studios are in downtown Ithaca.

In 2002, Ithaca Community Radio, Inc. obtained a FCC license for a translator on 88.1 FM in Ithaca. Because these have to re-broadcast full powered stations and ICR at this time did not own one, they at first re-broadcast WEOS and then later WSQX. In October 2007, they applied for a full powered FM license for Watkins Glen, as none were available for Ithaca proper. And then in June 2012, they completed their studios based in Clinton House in downtown Ithaca and finally went on the air as a community owned and operated station whose programming serves Tompkins and Schuyler counties.

The station features a variety of programming during the day, including locally produced programs and syndicated programs from Pacifica Radio and others.

In addition to the main station, WRFI is relayed by an additional translator to widen its broadcast area.
