Did you know June 29, 2020 marks our 5 year anniversary of being on-air and streaming online worldwide!? We started this incredible radio station from the ground up (thanks to the original start-up funding from Joe and Susan Arpad) and are loving every minute of it! We have had so very many positive comments and lots of great feedback over the past 5 years. We had big plans to celebrate a milestone anniversary with you all. And then, COVID-19 happened and brought the world to a screeching halt, changing the way we interact and do business.
Like many other small businesses, restaurants and non-profits, we have taken a financial hit. Underwriting (also known as advertising in the public radio realm) is how our 4-part time staffers are supported, it’s how we are able to operate and pay for our music licensing, utilities, rent, etc. During this unique and challenging time, we made the hard choice not to request additional funds. During that same time, we have also lost some of our most valuable underwriters as they were hit hardest by the pandemic and all of the changes that come with it. Even though we haven’t asked for funds, your support of our non-profit radio station and local news coverage during this time, is as critical as ever: Support Wadsworth Community Radio securely via PayPal.
Without funding, we cannot survive. Without funding, we will not be able to continue to provide you with Wadsworth-centric news, sports and weather coverage you know, love and expect. Simply put, without your tax-deductible financial contributions, either at an individual or business level, we will have to sign off and go dark. We hope you will Support Wadsworth Community Radio securely via PayPal, or via check: Wadsworth Communications Inc. and mail it to 102 Main Street – Suite 101, Wadsworth, Ohio 44281.
Thank you in advance for helping pull us through this challenging time so we can continue to thrive spend another 5 + 5 + 5 years — and beyond — bringing you the news and information you want and need in Grizzly Town!
