WEFT

Work happening at WEFT

On Monday, May 14, Bob Paleczny and Bruce Zimmerman replaced the STL (Station Transmitter microwave Link) receiver located in the main transmitter out on Hensley Hill. WEFT will have at least one more down time - perhaps two - as we replace more pieces in our broadcast chain. Remember we will continue to stream while we are off the FM airwaves.

Thanks again to the Community Foundation of East Central Illinois for the grant that is allowing us to upgrade our equipment.

Public Service Announcements

Does your organization have a public service announcement that you'd like to get on the air?

Write up the details. Be sure to include all the important information including who, what, when and where. Public service announcements must not be a call to action, we cannot mention ticket prices and they should not be written in first person. Phonetic pronunciation for any unusual words or names would be helpful too.

The announcement should fit on a 5 X 7 card and take 30-45 seconds to read.

You can drop off the announcement at the station, mail it to WEFT, 113 N. Market St. Champaign or send it via email to psa@weft.org.
