WGDR/WGDH’s Underwriting and Sponsor Coordinator (USC) is a new contracted position designed to help establish and grow this area of revenue for the station. This role largely entails engaging with potential community underwriters and sponsors in the community to encourage them to get the word out about what they do by using our airwaves or stream to do so. Click through to read the full job description and how to apply by March 1.

Savannah may be new to WGDR. But she is not new to the airwaves. Before moving to central Vermont in October, Savannah lived in Portland, Maine for three years where she had a show on Portland’s community radio station, WMPG.

Savannah show intent is: “…to be an alternative the algorithm (that is) coming up with suggested songs for you and instead just really trying to listen to broad swaths of music that aren’t listened to nowadays, or that people don’t take the time to search out new artists. My music tends to be with women vocalists or queer artists so I try to focus on music that might not be heard otherwise.”

Did you know Central Vermont Community Radio has the most affordable way to get the word out? We know because we did the research and our underwriters and sponsors have told us this!

Do you need to reach Vermonters in our area? Consider underwriting or sponsoring the station. Our new 2024 rates and options aren’t only affordable, they can be customized to meet your needs for an upcoming event, seasonal businesses, or year-long run.

Here at CVCR, we’re excited to bring more and more of the community into the station. Starting in February, we’ll welcome 10 new programmers onto the air. Their shows will mostly be music shows, adding diversity to our playlists and making our weekends, middays, and early mornings even more “live and local.” This takes ups up to nearly 60 programmers, with 50 shows, making the schedule 80% locally made (up from just 30% a year ago).

We are sending you all our warmest wishes for the new year. Thanks for making 2023 an amazing year for Central Vermont Community Radio.

What a year of building more community on the radio! We are profoundly grateful to every single one of you for helping these beloved stations continue to thrive. Click through to this blog post to rad up on this year’s stats and highlights.
