Value Statements

 

  • We believe our audience can be connected through a local radio station that immerses itself into the arts, culture, events, and music of a community.
  • We believe talented, under-recognized musicians deserve exposure, and we strive to be a resource for them.
  • We believe that our audience is witty, intelligent, and sophisticated in their musical taste. We aim to entertain at a level that exceeds that of commercial radio.
  • Responsiveness, availability, and communication are a priority for our staff and volunteers.
  • We strive to bring people together through real-time, live announcing about local news, weather, traffic, and emergency preparedness.

 

On any given week, WPVC.'s audience includes tens of thousands of streaming listeners plus YouTube viewers. We already know that a good portion of our community lives outside the Jackson Tn market—and that's a strength. WPVC is open to music lovers everywhere, thanks in part to your support. When the Jackson Tn  Area station begins broadcasting in the coming months, we’ll be airing 100.5 FM. Within the first six months of operation, we’ll also be broadcasting remotely around the Jackson Tn area and supporting our local events that will air regionally. We’ll also be doing our best to build relationships and connections with the local music scene that will help us define the evolution of WPVC 100.5 The Truth. 

So how are we paying for this? In short, WPVC has existing investment funds that are being used for the purchase and initial operation of the Jackson Tn station (more on that in a second). Your gift as an Amplifier or annual fund donor is  being used  for the maintaining WPVC 100.5 station. 

WPVC’s Board will approved withdrawing all funds (President).

We will now  have an opportunity to significantly amplify the work we’re already doing and open up new possibilities and we're taking it very seriously.

 I’m a strong believer that radio will be with us for a long time, and I think we’ve already seen how broadcast and digital listening can build off one another to create a stronger community with valuable information. 

Most of all, I want to say that I’m really excited that this particular opportunity came along. I think it plays to our strengths and gives us a chance to really lean into our mission. 

We plan to make more formal announcements about this project as we go, and many more steps need to be completed before this becomes a reality. But we couldn’t be more excited to share this news and begin this next phase of our evolution with you. 

Thank you again for your continued support and trust in WPVC 100.5 FM The Truth.

Getting Air Play on WPVC 100.5 FM

How DOES one get airplay on stations like WPVC 100.5 FM? First off, you have to remember that WPVC 100.5 FM is a one-of-a-kind station. The way we do things is different from most of the other stations out there, but as far as we’re concerned, our way of doing things has gotten us to a place where we’re considered the premier music station -- a station where DJs actually program the music on their shows, and if our model works, we hope other stations do the same.
