(3,870 posts)I'm passionate. Like the importance of local media. So I'd much rather be behind the scenes, cheering on others. I just saw floods and fires threaten our community and knew a recent law was going to give nonprofits a chance to apply for a broadcast license. It was a chance to make our area much safer. I didn't have a background in radio, nonprofits, journalism, business, or nonprofits. But here we are 5 years beyond getting our license and KWVH-LP received a state award for broadcasting during the Icepocalypse and keeping our town informed.
Luckily some very knowledgeable people retired here and started volunteering to make the dream come true.
I hope you get to do more local radio. It's a blessing for the community and a lot of fun. We have all kinds of school and student events, covering sports and academics, city council, local musicians, performing arts events, nonprofit events, many different genres of music.
