[grc] [stationmanagers] New stations: Are you interested in a Buddy to help you grow?

[wpvm.103.7 fm]

Hi Ursula,
Not sure if we're considered newbies...we've held the FCC license for a bit
over three years. We were starting from the bottom as the station had been
silent for about 5 years, but with brief periods of live broadcast just to
keep the license alive. The original individual who got the license
developed ALS and was simply not able to keep up and others associated with
the non-profit didn't have the necessary passion to mother hen the station.

So during this past three years we have been rebuilding listenership and
upgrading all of the technical equipment. But I feel we are still in
infancy stage as per developing programming by locals. Would like to be
considered for a partnership.

Best Regards,
Davyne
