On Friday, March 11th, we will join public radio stations across the nation as we come together in a simultaneous broadcast of John Lennon’s timeless song of unity, hope and peace, “Give Peace a Chance.”

This collective transmission serves to unite public radio listeners from coast to coast in a unified demonstration to support those around the world who are affected by war, reminding all of us that we can collectively amplify support for peace across the globe.

Join us by tuning in on Friday, March 11th at 1:30pm.

Public radio together, for peace.

On January 1, 2022, WWCF Radio will begin another year of streaming our programming online.

Thanks to our listeners, we have the financial resources to continue making our broadcast available on the internet. We heard from a lot of you–from friends old and new. For us, the fundraiser was a truly remarkable event. All of us at WWCF were moved with every comment and donation. Believe us when we say that we appreciate you as much as you say you love the station. Unique people and unique music programming belong together and we are glad you found a distinctive listening experience with us.

The promise for the new year is simple–lots of new music, new artists, and great programming to enjoy. As was profound before, it is again. WWCF is a “great place to hang your ears.”

We’re making our listening audience aware of the possible decision to end our internet stream. Currently, WWCF does not have sufficient funds to cover the expenses associated with our internet stream such as music royalties, server costs, equipment, internet service, and state and federal administration fees. However, we wanted to give our listeners the opportunity for their voice to be heard and possibly help keep our broadcast available online.

In order to maintain the internet stream, WWCF needs $2500 by January 1, 2022. The humble amount of money the station currently takes in is not enough to cover the costs of broadcasting both over the air and on the internet. As a non-profit organization, we rely on our listeners for financial support and we cannot continue to fund our internet stream out of pocket.

If we are unable to raise $2500 by 9pm on December 31, 2021, WWCF will cease its online stream at midnight. This would only effect the internet stream. Our over the air FM broadcast will continue as usual.

We’ve modified our donation page to allow you to donate directly to preserving the internet stream. Should we not meet our $2500 goal, there is also the option to have your donation returned or utilized for operating the FM broadcast. A donation not earmarked for preserving the internet stream will not count toward the goal. If you would like to donate with a check, it must be received by December 30, 2021. Please allow ample time for the check to be delivered. Donations toward the internet stream made either on our website or by check will not be utilized or deposited until we confirm that we have met our goal. Our mailing address can be found on our contact page.

Thank you for your support over the years. Your generous, tax-deductible contributions mean a great deal to keeping the music and programs that otherwise wouldn’t be available in this area accessible to numerous listeners. Help WWCF, and we will continue with a passion for the music and honor your support.

This Giving Tuesday, consider supporting WWCF Radio with a donation that allows us to continue providing all of our listeners with a quality radio experience. Your donation assists in providing WWCF with the necessary funds to continue operating and incrementally improving the station and lessens the financial burden of maintaining the station out of our own pocket.

Visit our donate page to make your contribution online. WWCF is a registered non-profit (501c3) organization, so any donation you make is eligible to be tax-deductible. Also check out our contact page for our mailing address if you would rather donate via check.

To those who have previously donated and to any first-time donors, thank you. A lot goes on behind the scenes and your generosity keeps the station alive and the music coming.
