Brunswick Community Radio Needs Your Support: Help Launch WBWK-LP at 95.7 FM!

Great news for our community! The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has officially granted a Construction Permit for WBWK-LP, our new Low Power FM radio station operating at 95.7 FM. This is an incredible opportunity for us to enhance local broadcasting and create a platform that truly reflects the voices of Brunswick.

What is WBWK-LP?

WBWK-LP is more than just a radio station; it’s a community initiative designed to bring local talent, stories, and issues to the forefront. With programming featuring local artists, community event discussions, and important local news, we aim to create a vibrant audio tapestry that resonates with all Brunswick residents.

However, to make this vision a reality, we need your help!

Why We Need Your Support

Building a radio station from the ground up requires significant financial resources. The funds raised will go toward vital equipment, studio setup, broadcasting technology, and ensuring we meet all FCC requirements. Our goal is to create a station that serves Brunswick and engages, informs, and entertains our community.

Community Radio is Coming to Brunswick, Ga!

Community Radio (WBWK) is coming to Brunswick, Ga.  This station will be for the people of Brunswick by the people of Brunswick!  When the FCC window for new Low Power FM radio licenses opens on November 1st, we will apply and then start broadcasting over the air when we get approved and get the station built.

Community radio is when local people produce and broadcast their programs and participate in operating the station. It is a community space for people to meet and collaborate. It is extraordinarily fun and often life-changing. It typically leads to individual creativity and self-empowerment. Participants find it extraordinarily satisfying not just to make radio in this unique fashion but also to help transform community life.

To get things rolling, we need your help funding the station.  We need to find a location to put our studios (at least 2000 sq/ft), funding to build the studios, and money to keep the station running once we get it built.
