Once again, CVCR is putting our spin on Giving Tuesday, December 2. We've got a matching gift of up to $1,500 from our generous donors Larry Kressly and George Kimmerling to challenge donors who have yet to give this year to give that day and have it doubled. We’re hoping to raise $3,000 or more!

As our appreciation to you, our listeners and supporters, we’re turning up the whole day with live and locally made music shows. Click through for the line up.

Daylight savings time isn't the only thing that changed this week. We made a few schedule changes too to adjust for the retirement of a few shows (the daily Letters & Politics and Friday’s Geezer Rock). Some of these changes are temporary until we get the next batch of 10 new shows trained up and on the air in January. For a full and current program list, with show details, visit Spinitron.com/WGDR.

Haven’t given to the station yet? Here are some ways to give by 12/31: Donate an old vehicle, donate from your IRA Charitable Rollover, get gifts from our Swag Shop, given in honor of a loved one, give during Giving Tuesday and have it doubled, give from a Family Foundation or Donor Advised Fund, or many other ways.

Please spread the word on your Front Porch Forum, social media, and other ways too! Thank you! Click through to learn more.

In 2026 we will replace our 30-year-old WGDR antenna and move it to a new, higher location in Plainfield.

This is a once in a station lifetime moment, where we will go from just 88 square miles reached by our radio signal, to over 700 square miles.

It will cost us around $150K to fund the cost of of the WGDR Tower project. This includes the cost of the new antenna, installation and upfit at the new tower, and cover the new operational costs for the first three years (giving us time to adjust our budget to take on these new costs). Learn more about this project and how you can help make a significant impact on our success.

The CVCR Board is recruiting new members by the end of the year. The board is charged with setting strategy, ensuring our mission has the resources it needs to succeed, and providing overall leadership to the organization. In our next round of new board members, we are seeking folks with fundraising experience (or a willingness to learn!), board leadership skills, and past work with organizations undergoing big change (like a move!). We’re eager to also expand the board to more fully represent our diverse community of central and northern Vermont, especially folks from our BIPOC and LGBTQ+ circles, as well as folks to expand our gender representation beyond the binary and age ranges (under 50).

For more information contact Board@WGDR.org or to submit an application soon.
