Central Vermont Community Radio birthday party weekend is coming up, June 6-8, with a big party on Saturday, June 7, 12-3pm at the station.

This birthday will mark more milestones for the station, the 52nd year on the air for WGDR, Plainfield, the 15th for WGDH, Hardwick, and the start of our 5th year as an independent community nonprofit running the stations! Details are being worked out, but you can count on music, food, and great community company! Thank you to our weekend sponsors: PCC, Northfield Savings Bank, Lawson’s Liquids, and Concept2.

We are very excited to provide special programming in partnership with our friends at WWOZ, New Orleans as part of the 55th Jazz Fest. 

WGDR & WGDH will live simulcast the Jazz Fest on the air Thursdays, April 24 and May 1, 12-6pm. Tune in and enjoy!

Community radio is a special kind of nonprofit. We are a media outlet for news, views, music, and more for listeners. We are a resource when times get tough like in floods, the pandemic, and other urgent needs in the community. We are a creative hub for thinkers, music lovers, poets, and live music. And, we do this all free for all. We think that puts us in the running for being at pretty good, if not “the best” nonprofit.

Please consider nominating Central Vermont Community Radio as part of the Seven Daysies before April 28 at ballot.sevendaysvt.com. 

Listen live or later a new Central Vermont Community Radio show - Radio RoundUp - airing once a month, on the third Thursdays at 6pm. This gives you a behind the scenes listen to projects, strategy, and what's coming next for the stations of WGDR & WGDH. Click through hear the April, 2025 episode, featuring Vice Chair of the CVCR Board, Charles Rossell speaking to the new board, strategic planning this year, and more.

Interest in the station continues to knock our socks off! Coming up this May, you will hear another 10 new shows making their way on the air through training and then the start dates. More details on these new folks and their show concepts coming soon!

It is hard to make radio folks speechless, but you did just that on March 23. On our very last day of the Spring Fundrive, the community rallied to the moment and not only met our big $20,000 goal, but they surpassed it raising $20,505 (with checks still on the way).

We are so amazed - but not surprised - that you, our listeners stepped up in these huge ways to fund the programming that you all love and rely on. You get it. Community radio matters more than ever. Thank you for investing in us as we give it right back to you every day on the airwaves!
