You crushed the $20K Spring Fundrive Goal
It is hard to make radio folks speechless, but you did just that on March 23. On our very last day of the Spring Fundrive, the community rallied to the moment and not only met our big $20,000 goal, but they surpassed it raising $20,505 (with checks still on the way).
We are so amazed - but not surprised - that you, our listeners stepped up in these huge ways to fund the programming that you all love and rely on. You get it. Community radio matters more than ever. Thank you for investing in us as we give it right back to you every day on the airwaves!
It is hard to make radio folks speechless, but you did just that yesterday!
Yesterday, on our very last day of the Spring Fundrive, the community rallied to the moment and not only met our big $20,000 goal, they surpassed it raising $20,505 (with checks still on the way).
We've got unofficial results on the rest of our goals too including:
7 increased monthly donors
6 new monthly, sustaining donors
24 returning donors, who haven't given in a few years - tied a drive record!
61 donors who stream us live at WGDR.org
65 new donors - a new one-drive record!
Over $3,500 of donations were made in honor of the late, great, and dearly missed Dave Tucker. ❤️
Over 250 donors total - by far a record for one drive!
We are so amazed - but not surprised - that you, our listeners stepped up in these huge ways to fund the programming that you all love and rely on. You get it. Community radio matters more than ever. Thank you for investing in us as we give it right back to you every day on the airwaves!
There was some amazing special programming happening over these last two weeks too. Be sure to go back in our archives to hear the live music on Saturday afternoons into the evenings that happened each weekend, the special afternoon drive shows during the work week, and the amazing Revel Level Wrap Party on the air last night with DJ EhMmAhh and Z-Point (pictured).
Congrats to our Fundrive MVP, Eben Flow for logging 12 extra hours of live radio across the drive. Eben was joined by 15 other programmers who produced nearly 40 hours of extra local programming during the drive. It sounded great!
Central Vermont Community Radio continues to be 75% funded by individuals like you. This is why our fundrives - twice a year - are so critical to funding the station.
We now have over 90 sustainers, funding $16K of the budget each year (on top of drives). A small monthly gift by these folks, adds up in a big way for the station.
Thank you to the 15 members of the station - programmers, board, staff, and volunteers - who kicked in to that final day match.
Thank you to our anonymous major donors, Blackbear Biodiesel, and Diamantis Construction for making our other big matches. Together, we had $5,600 in matching support and this was what made the difference in making this $20K goal!
Thank you to everyone who sent fan mail to the station and left such great comments on the drive site. This powers the programmers for months to come, knowing there is such support out there for what they work so hard to do each week on the air.
We are back to normal programming this week! Phew!
You didn't miss your chance to give either. We're still accepting donations to the station for the rest of the year. All our funds help us make budget adjustments across the year in other areas that are far less reliable than our listeners! Thank you for making us part of how you support your community.
Remembering Dave Tucker
We share with heavy hearts that Dave Tucker passed away in mid-March.
On Friday, March 7, the station hosted a gratitude show for Dave. He was our Board Chair, co-Music Director, Programming Committee Member, programmer mentor, all-around volunteer of all things, and most importantly, long-time host of "The Long and Winding Road." You can listen back to the show in our special archives by clicking this post.
We share with heavy hearts that Dave Tucker passed away in mid-March.
On Friday, March 7, about a week before he died, the station hosted a gratitude show for Dave. He was our Board Chair, co-Music Director, Programming Committee Member, programmer mentor, all-around volunteer of all things, and most importantly, long-time host of "The Long and Winding Road."
Dave was diagnosed with a fast-moving and incurable cancer. The show was our way to honor him during the limited time he had left with us. We played his favorite tunes, told stories, and showed our radio love for his impact on this place. Dave was instrumental in these first few years of community ownership, and his legacy around here will be long-lasting. You can listen to the show in our special archives, linked above.
Our annual volunteer of the year award is now named in his honor: The Dave Tucker Volunteer of the Year Award.
New shows & schedule shifts.
Tune in for 12 new local shows and 4 new syndicated shows coming on in February and early March. We also have some changes to some shows that have been in the local line up. Our schedule is always the most current spot to look for what’s coming next.
Updated March 4
Our Programming Committee continues to work hard to provide access to the airwaves for as many local Vermonters as possible. We’ll continue to curate our schedule slots to include those still underrepresented or not heard on the air at the station from our diverse community, as well as keeping an ear to types of content we lack or need more of (local news, deeper conversations, discussions on the issues we face right here in Vermont, and more). We’re excited about what’s to come!
For now, we are bringing 12 new local shows and 2 new syndicated shows on the air in February. Here are the anticipated start dates and where current syndicated shows are shifting to make room for more local, live shows. Our schedule is always the most current lineup for any week.

The Barndance Bluegrass show quit with no notice to the station on February 21. As a result of that, and other major policy violations, some of which put the station at risk of FCC regulations, Dan Menucci is no longer a programmer with Central Vermont Community Radio. We are deeply disappointed in how this turned out, as the show was enjoyed by many. Due to our commitment to privacy for all involved in the station, we cannot say more.
###
Syndicated Shows that are retiring from the rotation for now: Green Bubble Tea, Dancehall/Reggae, the Final Straw, For the Wild, and Alternative Radio.
