Action Alert: Help Us Access Our Antenna

Hello fellow community radio lovers,

If you’ve tuned into WERA 96.7 FM, you’ve probably heard the bare minimum of a broadcast – station identification and perhaps some overlapping programming from other stations. Here’s why.

We’re currently operating from a temporary antenna while our landlord works to secure our access to the transmission cable for our permanent antenna on the same rooftop. Arlington County is in a position to grant us entry to move the cable. We need your help in urging the County Board to compel the staff to give us access.

Once we can enter the room, the work we propose can be done in less than a day. Then, the station will be able to broadcast at full power.

We plan to make this request during public comment at the next regular County Board meeting at 9:30 a.m. on Saturday, September 19 at 2100 Clarendon Boulevard, Room 307, Arlington, Virginia 22201. Please join us! If you’d like to speak up for us, you can register here.

Let the County Board know how much WERA means to you, and ask them to please "just open the door."

Thank you for your advocacy and support!
