Thanks to all our listeners for your continued support helping make our marathon a success!
Our annual 2026 fundraising Marathon ran from April 6 – April 19 this year. Because we are 100% listener supported, your contribution means everything to us! Call to donate, (860) 439-2850 or (860) 439-2851.
Thank you so much to everyone who donated in the past – we appreciate your continued support!
We are now partnering with Cars Helping Charities — when you donate your car or other vehicle, it can help us reach our fundraising goals.
OPEN HOUSE
The Open House is your chance to visit the station, pick up your prizes, meet the DJs, see our studios, and peruse the vintage shirts and other prizes not available over the air. 2026 Hours were:
- Friday April 17 noon – 8 pm
- Saturday April 18 9 am – 8 pm
- Sunday April 19 noon – 8 pm
It was great to see you all!
UPDATE
We now need to move our radio antenna by summer of 2025 because of construction at Connecticut College. We would like to take this opportunity to upgrade our antenna type, so that all within our listening range will get better reception. This upgrade will cost a significant amount above our regular operating expenses.
Thank you for your generosity this year, and every year!
