In the midst of the flooding impact in our area in these last few days, we’ve also had our own big headlines at the station. The sale of the Goddard campus was put back out for bid late last week and we are now once again awaiting a new owner and timeline. WGDH, Hardwick also was knocked off the air by a broadcast gear failure. Here is a bit more on each of those issues.

This blog post will be updated regularly throughout the summer.

Happy Solstice! This is going to be a busy summer at the station, and we'll have more to share about what that entails, soon. For now, we've got a few updates from the last few months, including some programming changes, to catch you up on.

Discover the winners of our inaugural Station Awards, celebrating the outstanding contributions of our programmers and volunteers who bring creativity and passion to our station's programming.

We were overjoyed to see so many of y’all come down to the station for the Party at the Pratt to celebrate 50 years of WGDR being on the air. Wow. We are truly humbled by the turnout - over 150 folks! 

Thank you for the WGDR birthday gifts. You helped raise $6,045(and counting!)! 50+ community donors gave $3,023 toward our $2,500 goal.
