WEFT planning fundraiser for new transmitter
CHAMPAIGN – Community radio station WEFT-FM is reviewing options for paying for a new transmitter after its old one was damaged by storms in late May.
The volunteer-operated, listener-supported station at 90.1 FM still isn't yet back to full power, station manager Mick Woolf said. WEFT is sponsoring a fundraiser to buy a new transmitter from 5 to 8 p.m. Friday at Mike 'n' Molly's beer garden, 105 N. Market St., C – next door to the WEFT studio.
