We’ve got several WWER updates for you this week. Your Care Partners is back this week. Martie and Jill are back with more advice about caregiving. Their new episode airs Thursday at 8PM and Saturday at 9AM. Available online Starting Saturday at 9AM. Our studio construction has slowed, but continues to move forward. As noted […]
Just a quick reminder that you can hear Rick Wood’s interview with Chief Les Parsons on Town Matters this week: Thursday at 8PM Saturday at 9AM Available online Saturday 9AM We had another wonderful donation to our studio drive this week. Robert Gray donated $1000! Our new total is $9360.
It’s been a good week for our studio fundraising efforts! We had a very generous donation of $1000 and several smaller ones that add up to over $1300! That brings us nearly halfway to our goal! In other good news, we are starting to pick back up on our talk show production. The studio effort […]

Our new door arrived and has been installed! Looks a lot better than the old one… And we have a big hole in the wall where our new window is going… We hope to complete basic construction in February and start broadcasting from our new studio some time in March. We’re already […]
Sometimes I think we don’t give enough thanks to our Underwriters. You can also think of them as Sponsors. They are the local businesses and organizations who have donated money to WWER to help us stay on air. Most of them are very small and don’t have a lot of cash to spare, but still […]
I’m happy to report that we are making excellent progress on both the construction front and the fundraising front! On Saturday I met with the builder to see the work so far. Framing for the new walls is nearly complete. We just await the arrival of the new window and door to complete that work. […]
