Current Station News

News Department

After reviewing surveys recently circulated throughout Rockland and Camden and online, we learned that is what is most important to local residents is local news. You can now hear our community calendar every morning and we are working up a plan to present a comprehensive news show in the near future.

Equipment Upgrade

We have been operating with more or less the same equipment since we began broadcasting in 2002. After years of constant use, the wear and tear is considerable, and it has begun to effect production quality. We are seeking to upgrade and replace a few key items to keep up with the growth we are experiencing creatively.

Volunteer Opportunities

Our traditional open door policy is in full swing. There is an abundance of creativity, talent, technical expertise and enthusiasm in the Midcoast Area, and the WRFR beehive is a great environment for collaboration. We welcome all community members with an interest in local radio to take advantage of our free training and join the WRFR team.

Membership Opportunities

For the first time in our history, we are making it possible for members of our listening community to become members of our development community. That means you get to have a personal stake in the sustainability of local radio in your area.

Fundraising

We are working with a grant writer and looking for considerable sums that we hope will help us realize our potential and sustain our growth.

Events

The fun we had all at our Halloween dance party and at our recent anniversary party has sparked an interest in hosting more events throughout the year. We are planning to have more of a presence and at local farmers markets, festivals and events, and to provide remote broadcasts wherever possible. And we are brainstorming for the next community dance idea.
