Thank you for being a part of the WERS community.
You might have heard that federal funding for public radio is under threat. Did you know that we also receive grant funding? This funding makes up 10% of our budget. For a small radio station such as WERS, this can have a significant impact.
We believe that everyone deserves access to free, community-rooted programming. At a time when people are seeking connection, culture, and trustworthy content more than ever, local public media, including music stations like ours, is being pushed to the edge.
We need our listeners more than ever.
