The construction crew has made excellent progress this week! The new roof was installed and had its first test Saturday night when yet another heavy rain came through Colonial Beach! Wiring for lighting and HVAC has been installed, and the insulation and drywall are up. It’s really starting to look like a nice place to […]
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 […]
This week after visiting our construction site, I am reminded of that old saying “One step forward, two steps back” (it was also a song by John Sebastian in the 70’s). We made good progress on our electrical work this week. But when the rain storms came again, we learned that some roof patching we […]
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.

Some of you may have already noticed that we have not been airing our usual talk shows lately. They usually air Thursday at 8PM and Saturday at 9AM. We have halted production of Town Matters, Talk of the Town and Porch Talk. The reason – not enough volunteers or time. All of these shows take […]
Our studio fundraiser is in motion. The site is selected, plans have been drawn up, and construction starts soon. The fundraising has begun as well. Our GoFundMe site has received donations from $25 to $200; our friends at Colonial Buzz raised over $600 in their tip jar for us, and just this week I received […]
Twas the weekend of Christmas, and great music was playing throughout the house! We’ve switched our music machine into all Christmas mode for the entire weekend with even fewer interruptions for your enjoyment. On Christmas Eve we have a special treat – The It’s a Wonderful Life radio play presented by the Colonial Beach Playhouse. […]
You may have noticed that we didn’t send out an events email this week and that we don’t have an events announcement on air. Barry Millward has been doing these for the last two years, but has decided to move on. I wanted to take a moment to thank Barry for doing these announcements and […]
