Valley FM Fund Raiser<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

February 1 \u2013 April 30, 2024<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Power the Tower!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Creation of Community Radio Station (Valley FM 97.9) in Vernon is Nearly Complete<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

On February 1, 2023, we began online streaming from our website: www.Valleyfm.ca<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was a big step forward to realizing the dream of having our own community radio station in Vernon! And now we need to take that final step forward and start broadcasting ON AIR!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We Will Lose our Broadcasting License If We Are Not ON AIR By September 2024<\/em><\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Though the hard work of Gord Leighton (who sadly passed this summer) and many others, all the heavy lifting in getting our FM licence and radio tower is done. Over the past year, we have also secured studio space, online streaming equipment, and (as mentioned) started streaming content. The next step is to buy, install, and power up our radio transmitter, go ON AIR, and start broadcasting to our community. If we cannot manage to do this before September 1, 2024, we will lose our licence; this is to say, there will be no Valley FM 97.9 in the airwaves of Vernon.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We Must Raise $25,000 to \u201cPower the Tower\u201d and Go ON AIR<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This final step to get ON AIR is going to cost us $25,000.00. We have carefully come up with this figure looking at all options and searching for the best deals and volunteer assistance to keep the price tag as low as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPower the Tower\u201d campaign starts on February 1 and will end on April 30\u2014or sooner if we reach our target before then.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We welcome all suggestions from our membership as we plan and implement this essential undertaking to not only save our 97.9 FM frequency licence, but also to save our dream of having a successful, functioning community radio station proudly serving our hometown of Vernon, BC!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our Next Meeting Will Be On January 30 at 4:00<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please join us to Power the Tower!  Our next meeting will be in our Valley FM 97.9 studios on January 30 (4:00-5:00 pm). Please plan to attend and help us get this final step done. And please share this message with all whom you know who may be interested in helping us on our way forward. Everyone is welcome. Entry is behind the Towne Theatre, 2913 29 Ave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
