Can You Hear Us Now? Map it!
WGDR listeners, we need your help!
Now that our new antenna is up and broadcasting on 91.1 FM, we're asking listeners across Central Vermont to help us map our new signal reach.
If you've noticed that WGDR comes in clearer—or if you're hearing us in places where you couldn't before—we want to know! Enter your location on our WGDR broadcast listener map. Click through to learn more.
Everyone who helps us map this will be entered to win a prize from our swag shop! (note, you need to make your pin public/put your info with it so we know it was you to enter to win!).

WGDR, Live…Wow! & State of the Station
What a night at WGDR Live in Barre City! A huge thank you to our sold-out crowd for bringing the energy with gardening questions, sing-alongs, and dancing to the beats of DJ Xav. To the hundreds of you who tuned in on your radios and online, we loved having you along for the fun too.
Special thanks to Host DJ Emma, weather expert Bob Misenberger, the Curse of the Golden Turnip crew, musicians Jess O'Brien and Leah Rocketship, our incredible volunteers, and our sponsors, the Barre Social Club and Physicians' Computer Company.

WGDR’s New Antenna!
After over two years of planning and months of project managing, we are in the final days of the new WGDR antenna install project! We are on pace to have the install done in June, still on our project timeline and within our projected budget.
On “crossover day” we will be having planned broadcast outages at 91.1 FM. We will announce this on the air, that day. We need to do a range of safety and regulation testing, so full transition to the new antenna has some variation we need to work with. We have back up broadcast ready to go if this is the case and we will keep you updated.
