Not a lot to report this week. Construction has slowed as we wait on some paperwork. Donations are still coming in, with $350 to report in the last 2 weeks. For my birthday in March, I started a Facebook fundraiser and kicked it off with $103 of my own money. So far, donors have kicked […]
The title for this week’s studio update is about light. Our new window has been installed, letting daylight in. Inside, our new lights have been installed and wired so we have light at night. The walls and ceiling have also been painted, so it’s really starting to look like a welcoming space for our volunteers […]
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 […]

Dear Listeners and supporters, WWER has been on the search for a new home for a long time now. It’s been a difficult process to find a suitable location that we can afford. We have found what we feel is a good fit with our supporters at Hawthorn Mercantile. They have been very supportive and […]

I’m happy to announce that we have a new Underwriter at WWER. The Colonial Beach Community Foundation has provided the funding for a Gold level sponsorship for the Potomac Riverkeeper Network. Their mission is to protect the public’s right to clean water in the Potomac and Shenandoah Rivers and their tributaries. They stop pollution to […]
