WXPI Needs You: Help Us Build the New Tower

Donation protected
From its first days on the airwaves in 2011, WXPI 88.5 FM, Williamsport, Pennsylvania’s all-volunteer, 501(c) (3) nonprofit, independent community radio station, has been dedicated to connecting, informing, educating, entertaining and inspiring the region. WXPI is a powerful platform for local engagement and identity, acting as a vital community hub, broadcasting stories, news, music and perspectives that matter most to the area it serves.

WXPI has grown and is now approved by the FCC to greatly improve its coverage capacity to service Williamsport and the surrounding areas (see maps, 1st one expanded coverage Williamsport; 2nd one current coveragen Jersey Shore). To accomplish this expansion, WXPI must boost its signal strength, buy a larger transmitter and build a tower in Williamsport at The Pajama Factory - the cultural heart of Susquehanna Valley artists. The First Community Foundation Partnership of Pennsylvania has awarded a grant to the station, but these funds must be matched for WXPI to utilize them.

WXPI needs $20,000. Soon. Help the station broaden its already
impressive programming. Continue to provide its unique musical programs such as Cowboy G, The Retro Classic Showcase, The Old Time Music Hour, The Rec Room Radio Hour and much more. Continue to offer syndicated national talk shows from Pacifica. Continue to mentor and offer volunteer positions in all aspects of radio production to people of all ages. Continue to send volunteers to train students at area schools and have interns work at the station. Continue to give regional nonprofits opportunities to promote their organizations and highlight their accomplishments. Initiate new projects such as setting up for onsite performances and event broadcasting at The Pajama Factory.

Please assist and sustain this invaluable resource. All donations are tax deductible. Help keep WXPI on the air for many years to come! Thank you!
