Now Playing on WGDR
Our 5th anniversary of community ownership is right around the corner in mid May. Our Director, Llu Mulvaney-Stanak, who’s been with us from the start, reflects back on the last five years and all we’ve achieved, together.
We are very excited to provide special programming in partnership with our friends at WWOZ, New Orleans as part of the 56th Jazz Fest.
We will live simulcast the Jazz Fest on two afternoons Thursdays, April 23, 12-6pm and April 30, 2-7pm.
WGDR! Live from Barre! Friday, June 5 from 7-9pm at the Barre Social Club. Tickets: $9.11
This is a variety show featuring talent from the Central Vermont Community Radio airwaves as well as the local community. You'll be our live audience, while we live broadcast this out on the airwaves to even more Vermonters thanks to the new WGDR antenna that will be up in time for this show.

This legislative session community radio and public access TV have partnered to pursue state funding for what we do. Late last week the House passed the funding as part of the budget!
It's 1.89M, supported through the Secretary of State's general fund budget. $90K of that will support the 9 community radio stations annual operating budgets. The process continues in the state Senate next.
WGDH is getting upgraded with a new heat pump, repair to the antenna line, and a new transmitter (replacing the one that is 15 years old and showing its age!). You won't hear much of a difference, but these are investments in the durability and future for the station. This is thanks to last year’s state funding!
Support those who support the station. Thanks to our underwriters, sponsors, and foundations for funding our programming.
Central Vermont Community Radio is the non-profit that runs WGDR, Plainfield at 91.1 FM and WGDH, Hardwick at 91.7 FM. We are community run through and through with over 70 locally made shows and nearly 45,000 listeners each year over broadcasts, live streaming, and archive/on demand listening. For such a small, rural station, we have a mighty big impact and we appreciate your support. We are proud members of the National Federation of Community Broadcasters and Pacifica Network.
Stay up to date on what’s happening at the station with our blog.
