After nearly ten years since our unsuccessful attempt to bring community radio to Geneva, New York and the surrounding Finger Lakes region, I am pleased to say that Geneva Community Radio is Back, and poised to be better than ever.
On February 7th, 2024, Geneva Community Projects, an established non-profit 501(c)3 charitable organization, received a Construction Permit from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to build a new low power FM (LPFM) radio station to serve Geneva at 104.1 FM with the call letters WGCC "We're Geneva's Community Connection".
We now have a second opportunity to bring a unique non-profit and non-commercial radio service to our community. A radio service that will enhance, enrich and strengthen our community, and one that will bring diverse elements of our community closer together.
This new station will offer a diverse mix of music and spoken word programming, appealing to a wide range of tastes and interests within the Geneva community. Local residents will be encouraged to become volunteer DJs and show hosts, expressing themselves in a unique and creative manner for their friends and neighbors to hear and enjoy. The station will offer programming that gives a voice to music and ideas that are not heard on existing local radio stations.
In the coming months, we will be active in the community as we attempt to raise the money needed to build this new station. So please bookmark this site and come back often for further updates.
Yes. Geneva Community Radio is back, and this time, it's here to stay!
