Station Update: Thanks
Friends of WGDR/WGDH -
2021 was our biggest year as a station since, well 1973, when we flipped on the on air light for the very first time. Achieving independence from Goddard College made us the largest community radio station in Vermont. We are now one of the few former college stations in the country that succeeded in shifting to community ownership.
Through the hard work and dedication of our founding board and many volunteers we:
- Seamlessly remained on the air during this transition.
- Achieved 501c3 nonprofit status with the IRS.
- Raised $47,000 from hundreds of donors since the summer transition.
- Retained our 30 locally made programs, including 17 that broadcast live weekly safely from the studio and 5 that air on the Pacifica Network, bringing the sound of Vermont to the nation.
- Attracted 22 businesses and nonprofits as underwriters--many are new to the station.
- Hired our first station position, a part-time Station Manager.
This all was possible because of donors and supporters like you.
As we prepare to turn the page to a new year, we wanted to simply say, thank you.
In great gratitude,
The staff, programmers, and board of Central Vermont Community Radio
