ITS’ THAT TIME OF THE YEAR
OUR ANNUAL FUND DRIVE IS HERE!
A NOTE FROM STATION MANAGER TOM CASETTA
Community, in general, will be of the utmost importance in the coming years and G-Town Radio is here for you. Community is part of our name and a vital part of our mission. We believe that people have a voice and they need a place to share their concerns, tell their stories, fuel their passions and offer comfort and build community to make this world a better, kinder, safer and more equitable place for all.
If you value independent media and voices, anywhere, then this is your chance to not only be counted, but to make your voice count by adding it to the many that already rightfully see G-Town Radio/WGGT-LP as a NW Philadelphia institution and leader in community radio. We need your support and participation now more than ever, so we kindly ask that you become a supporting member of YOUR community radio station.
We are not associated with a public radio network or an educational institution like many other public radio stations. We are an all volunteer 501(c)3 community organization. We are funded by support from our listeners.
