Now Playing on WGDR
Wednesday, October 28 | 6–8 PM | Zoom (registration required)
Join us for a community forum about CVCR’s upcoming move to Barre! We’ll share a brief presentation on our new space and the steps ahead, including how the community can help, as we prepare for the transition, followed by a Q&A and an open brainstorming session.
This is an opportunity to ask questions, share ideas, and imagine the new possibilities our space can offer for community radio, local voices, and community connection. We want to hear from you, the listeners and our community at large, as we shape this next chapter together!
As of 10/14, we have officially reached our goal of $25,000!
Because of you, community stays at the heart of everything we do. It keeps us local, independent, and focused on you.
From all of us here at CVCR—thank you so much.
Thanks to our many human reporters, we were able to get a good idea of the new WGDR, Plainfield broadcast map over the summer. While it didn’t pick up as much new area as we’d hoped, we retained nearly all the original map. Due to our lease not being renewed by the owners of Creative Campus, the move of this antenna also has preserved the future of the WGDR broadcast. We would not have had time to move the antenna in just the 6 months we’ve been given to get off campus. We saved WGDR by getting the antenna off campus in the nick of time!
We’re so excited to share some big news: we’ve signed the lease for our new station home!
After three months of searching across Central Vermont, we’re moving to 14 North Main Street in Barre—the Blanchard Block, right next to the Barre Opera House and City Hall.
We’re incredibly grateful to be partnering with Granite City Developers, whose community-centered approach aligns so closely with our own.
We’ve got two+ weeks of special, creative, surprising, and delightful programming for the Spring Fundrive! This is when our programmers go above and beyond, try new things, bring in special guests, live music fills the airwaves, and we even add extra shows. We have a little of everything and we hope you enjoy it. Click through to catch the line up.
Thanks for tuning in and giving by October 11 to help us hit that $25,000 goal!
