Where is the station? The transmitter is located at the upper end of the High Rocks property, just below the USFS Kramer grazing allotment. From 6 AM until WVMR 1370 AM goes off the air the same programming will be on both stations. What about night time? The station will be on the air 24 hours per day. Night time programs will be done by volunteers. Programs will come from Hot Springs, Monterey and possibly Frost between 6 PM and midnight. After midnight there will be canned network programming until 6 AM, when local programming will resume. The transmitter was officially on-line as of October 25, 2010. What about Warrior Sports? By being on the air at night, WVMR-FM will be able to carry Warrior football and basketball broadcasts. The degree to which we are able to do this will depend on the availability of volunteers who are willing to be trained as play-by-play announcers. What can I do? We need people to help with getting the word out in the community, raising matching money for the grant we received to buy the equipment, and being trained to be volunteer DJs, reporters and sports broadcasters. How much money needs to be raised? The Allegheny Mountain Radio Board has committed $10,000. $12,000 was raised back in 1999-2000 from the public when we first applied for a Hillsboro station. Senator Helmick has allocated $25,000 in state funds to come through the County Commission. We have about $55,000 in equipment grant money from the US Department of Commerce. That leaves about $8,000 to be raised in the community and from other sources. How can I start doing a show? To be a DJ you will need to take lessons at the Frost Studio. Once you qualify, you will submit a “program proposal” to Cheryl Kinderman, the AMR General Manager. For the most part, programs will air between 6 PM and 10PM weekdays. They can be either 2 hours or 4 hours. Some Saturday and Sunday slots may also be available. Can my civic group or organization have updates or meeting notices broadcast? Absolutely! |
