WUVT Fundraiser!
tim
Starting today, WUVT 90.7 FM, the student-run radio station at Virginia
Tech, is holding its semi-annual fundraiser, called Radiothon, through March
28th. WUVT is one of the few remaining student owned and operated,
over-the-air radio stations in the country. With its programming, WUVT
contributes to student life and to the cultural diversity of the New River
Valley. Jazz, blues, reggae, bluegrass, and international music may all be
found every week on WUVT.
Although nearly all of the staff are unpaid volunteers, operating expenses
for WUVT are high. The equipment-heavy nature of radio, the paperwork
involved in meeting FCC regulations, and the need for new music drains the
financial resources of the station. Radiothon, WUVT's fund raiser, helps
alleviate the financial burden. Past Radiothons have helped WUVT to remain
on the air and continue the tradition of playing the most diverse and
cutting edge music in the New River Valley for over 50 years.
Pledges can be made by calling (540)231-9830, emailing wuvt...@vt.edu or by
stopping by the WUVT offices at 350 Squires Student Center on the Virginia
Tech campus.
