How about some good news? Just before the fundrive started we were notified that the FCC approved the WGDR antenna construction permit. This means we can finally raise the new antenna at the new tower location in May! 

Your support, during the fundrive, ensures that we have the funding we need for our programming costs right now. That way, we are ready to rock when this new antenna goes up and we welcome as many as 20K new households into our broadcast listening area in the valleys of Barre and Montpelier.

We have over 45K listeners to the station between our broadcast and online listeners. That is a 250% increase, from the estimated 13K that listened when we were owned by Goddard. We’re about to add thousands more broadcast listeners with the new WGDR antenna in May. 

This is all great, but did you know, only 10% of listeners actually give to the station?! 

This is your sign to become a new donor! If everyone gives even a little, we can have a huge impact on our programming. And, every new donor or new sustainer gift at $10 or more made during fundrive gets matched by our generous Board of Directors.

Please make your gift today and help us meet this Spring Fundrive goal.

Here at CVCR, every fundrive donor is a winner in our books. Give by March 22 and you will be entered to win a prize like tickets to local shows, a Bread and Puppet banner, or even something from our Swag Store!
