WVLN runs on listeners, not owners — here's how each way of pitching in actually works.
Monthly or annual memberships are what actually pay to keep the transmitter running. No tiers, no perks ladder — just listeners funding the station they listen to.
A short, unobtrusive mention on air for local businesses — not a commercial. We keep it to a sentence, read live, never a produced spot.
No broadcasting background required. We train new hosts from scratch — you bring the taste, we teach the board.
Mixers, mics, cabling, a working turntable — most of the booth was donated piece by piece. If you've got working gear gathering dust, we'll take it.
Monthly or annual, whatever fits — nothing to upgrade later.
One email a month, no spam, mostly playlists and show notes.
That's genuinely the whole model — no ads, no owner, just this.
