WRBH-FM is a non-commercial radio outlet in New Orleans, Louisiana that provides programming for the blind and handicapped, one of two stations in the United States that offer this service. The station's owners are Radio For The Blind & Print Handicapped, which is where the call letters came from. They operate at 88.3 MHz with an ERP of 51 kW.

The station was founded by Dr. Robert McLean, a blind mathematician. His dream was to have a full-time radio station that would provide programming to people with disabilities such as his. His dream became a reality in 1982 and the station continues his mission today.
