WGDH is Back On the Air

Thanks to the generosity of our community, we were able to raise the $3,500 to buy a new audio processor in just over a week! Thank you to the 29 folks who gave, including the Vermont Community Foundation’s generous emergency grant and 4 major donors who kicked in the big bucks to take us over the finish line. Having the quick support of the community has helped us limit our time off the air, from what could have been much, much longer.

The new processor arrived in Vermont over the weekend and after a quick install by our station manager, as of Tuesday, August 6, the station is back on the air at 91.7 FM for the Hardwick area.

As noted, any additional funds we raise toward the CVCR Future Fund will help prepare us for upcoming unplanned for expenses for our studio operating needs at the Pratt Center on Goddard campus. With the sale of campus looming this fall, we anticipate an increase in rent and utilities and having the extra funds to help adjust for that will help us stay on track with this year’s budget. Thank you!
