Now Playing on WGDR
Campus Internet Outage Since Thursday, May 7, 1:30pm: If you've been listening over the last week, you know we've been operating without internet at the studio. Due to a construction mistake on May 7 on the Creative Campus the main internet fiber line was broken. The repair timeline remains unclear, and we are preparing for this to be potentially a few weeks.
While we can still broadcast at both WGDR, 91.1 FM (mostly regular content) and WGDH, 91.7 FM (music only for now), this significantly is impacting our programming. We are unable to air the live Democracy Now live feed Monday-Friday at 8am, our syndicated programming is forced to be in reruns of the prior week's show, and our programmers are having to pivot, spending many extra hours to ensure their shows can go on, without the internet. As you can see, reliable internet is an integral part of our operations and how shows happen. We are doing our best to manage this, including pursuing our own internet solution to ensure the station can get back to full operation ASAP.
We appreciate everyone being patient, especially our many online listeners who are enduring our "dead air" right now.
