Community radio that keeps you locally tuned in.

A bigger, better WGDR signal is coming in 2026 — and it’s all because of you. Thank you! The FCC application is in, let’s gooo!

Join us at the World Famous Charlie O’s in downtown Montpelier for a night of beats, laughs, and bingo fun on Thursday, January 29th from 8 to 10pm.

The night is hosted by Vermont’s own drag queen legend Emoji Nightmare, with sweet sounds from WGDR’s DJ Emma of The Revel Level. Everyone’s welcome, and bingo rounds are just two bucks each — with fabulous prizes up for grabs!

Each year, the station recognizes three folks who go above and beyond for the station. Voted on by their peers, the Station Awards are a nice way to lift up our dedicated volunteers. Congrats to all! Click through to see the winners.

What a year it was, for all of us. We're so glad to be in community with you - near and far - through the power of community radio. As we wrap this year, here is a rewind highlighting all we did together. Click through for stories and stats!

In a year where headlines were heavy, WGDR's programming was resolute in our commitment to keep us connected to one another. Through factual news, in depth analysis, local coverage of happenings, including emergencies, mighty fine music shows, and more, our station was the soundtrack your community. This is what community radio does best – be a force for good and help make sense of it all.

Help fund this good by 12/31 and have your gift doubled! Thank you!

We can never say thank you enough, to all who help make this station possible.

This year, nearly 500 individuals have helped fund our programming, 100 organizations and businesses have supported us via underwriting, sponsorship, grants, and our Very Vermonty Auction. And, about 100 local folks have helped make the programming possible by doing shows, being on the board, committees, volunteer, or being part of our very small, but dedicated staff team. Thank you all!
