The Madison Community Foundation is a community trust that establishes permanent endowments and distributes interest income for the betterment of Dane County. At the same time, the station also plans to install a new stereo remote receiver on the STL tower to increase the distance from which live-remote broadcasts can be done. Listeners would then be able to catch more musicians, speakers, and events live on the radio even if they can't be there in person.
WORT considers live-remote broadcasts to be a vital part of the station's mission.
As Madison's only community radio station, WORT wants to go out into all parts of the community to give more individuals and groups access to the airwaves to share their news, music, and culture. Listeners are being asked to add a little extra when contributing to support WORT in the coming year. Call 256-2001 for more information or with a extra pledge of support.
