The new programmers are done with their summer training and on the air. Tune in to hear these 5 new shows and check out the slightly changed schedule, to adjust for the departure of a few other locally-made shows. Click through to see the full line up of changes.

Thanks to the generosity of our community, we were able to raise the $3,500 to buy a new audio processor in just over a week! Thank you to the 29 folks who gave, including the Vermont Community Foundation’s emergency grant and 4 major donors who kicked in the big bucks to take us over the finish line. Having the quick support of the community has helped us limit our time off the air, from what could have been much, much longer. We’ve got a little extra raised now too, for the increased costs to operate on the old Goddard campus, coming later this year, due to the sale.

As of Tuesday, August 6, the new processor is installed and the station is back on the air at 91.7 FM for the Hardwick area.

Many areas, including St. Johnsbury, were hit with up to 8 inches of rain overnight into July 30. The Northeast Kingdom desperately NEEDS MORE VOLUNTEERS.

The Kingdom United Resilience & Recovery Effort is leading the volunteer efforts and has a number of resources to get support (VT 211) and to report damage. Folks can sign up through the KURRVE Volunteer Form (linked in this blog post).

We are looking for a very part-time, 10 hours a-week, temporary Operations Coordinator to help work directly with our programmers on show, training, and troubleshooting needs, ensure all programming runs smoothly through our various systems, and assist in the general technical support of the station alongside the Station Manager and volunteers. This position pays $20/hour and we are accepting applications on a rolling basis until we fill the role. We hope to hire ASAP, so don’t delay.

The CVCR Board has decided to buy a new audio processor for WGDH. It is the fastest solution to get back on and, for $3,500, what we can afford to fundraise for on top of our existing fundraising commitments for the FY24 budget. We anticipate the gear to arrive in Vermont in a week and to be back on the air shortly afterward.

We are seeking one-time donations to help us fund this repair. Click the donate button to give to the CVCR Future Fund, and thanks!

Flood recovery is shifting to reporting and documenting for FEMA and insurance purposes. There are still some volunteer needs to help individuals across our area. Learn more about both by clicking on this post.
