Go community radio!

Thanks to our many human reporters, we were able to get a good idea of the new WGDR, Plainfield broadcast map over the summer. While it didn’t pick up as much new area as we’d hoped, we retained nearly all the original map. Due to our lease not being renewed by the owners of Creative Campus, the move of this antenna also has preserved the future of the WGDR broadcast. We would not have had time to move the antenna in just the 6 months we’ve been given to get off campus. We saved WGDR by getting the antenna off campus in the nick of time!

Thanks to Times Argus photographer Jeb Wallace-Brodeur for capturing the removal of the old WGDR antenna on campus in late August. A bigger thank you to the Prescott Tower Services team of Rutland, who took the four antenna bays down so carefully that we likely can use them again for translator stations in the coming years.

What's the latest with the move? After two months of vetting dozens of locations, we found six viable, more affordable locations than campus in Montpelier, Berlin, and Barre. In late August the CVCR Board vetted three finalists picked one to secure a lease with in the next few weeks. Once that is signed, we will excitedly share the news with everyone near and far and hold a community gathering to answer questions and share more information.

We have big news: Central Vermont Community Radio will be moving out of Pratt and off the Creative Campus by March 1, 2027. This wasn't our decision or our plan, but we are readying up to meet this moment. After 53 years in our location, this is a big deal and we are going to do this in as community-centered a way as possible. Learn more about what comes next.

Press release about the move.
