About Us
The VOICE of the VALLEY
WMRW was started in 2003 when the FCC awarded Rootswork a permit to build a low-powered FM (LPFM) station at the old East Warren Schoolhouse. Rootswork is a local grassroots non-profit organization devoted to promoting sustainable agriculture and community. The schoolhouse is located at the East Warren Four Corners, the intersection of East Warren Road and the Roxbury Mountain Road.

A little history . . .
WMRW was started in 2003 when the FCC awarded Rootswork a permit to build a low-power FM (LPFM) station at the old East Warren Schoolhouse. Rootswork is a local grassroots non-profit organization devoted to promoting sustainable agriculture and community. The schoolhouse is located at the East Warren Four Corners, the intersection of East Warren Road and the Roxbury Mountain Road.
"Low Power" means that we broadcast at or below 100 watts. Our engineering team reports the radio signal can reach Warren, Waitsfield, Fayston and Moretown (see our Coverage Map). We're on the FM band, at 95.1. And Waitsfield Cable carries our signal and extends our reach to all of their subscribers.
We invite you to get involved and become a member of the station's organizing effort. After all, this is a community radio station. We need your support, talent, energy, and commitment.
To get involved, or for more information, call us at 496-4951, or email us.
