CVCR’s Fall Schedule

Over the summer we made a few schedule changes to welcome five new locally-made shows and adjust for the departure of a few other local shows. We are up to just about 60 local programmers, with locally-made content now making up 60% of our 7am-midnight schedule. When we took over ownership of the station in 2021, we had just 25% of local content on the air. This is all the result of the community stepping up to come make radio with us and the hard work of many folks at the station to train up new folks and support the ongoing shows. Thank you to all who keep the station making some “Wicked Great Darn Radio! (WGDR).”
