All of the DJs are volunteers and work on their own free time, without pay. I visited the studio last week during their radiothon and was pleasantly surprised with the shows J-Magic's Jambalaya (Where the Guitar is the Star) and Spoonful of Blues. Their commitment to providing free radio (ie free of commercials/ads) is really awesome and they are even available streaming online at www.valleyfreeradio.org. I listen on Tuesday nights, when the above mentioned programs are airing. I hope that VFR continues to be on the airwaves for years to come.

They have always had a lot of depth in their playlists and good shows/programming in general. I also note that they seem to have a lot less commercials than other FM stations in other markets. (I travel a lot.) Unbelievable that they have existed for over 5 decades. Definitely one of the best FM stations ever.

The nice thing is that the opinions and programming truly do seem to reflect the spectrum of opinions. Because I love to cook (and eat), we started our radio relationship with the Food Show. Lots of fascinating history of food and the science of food. Then we found a host of alternative music shows (Prog-Bog "music so progressive it hasn't been invented yet"); Mudcat Blues and Strictly Vinyl. We listen while we work in the garden or cook. Not a great deal of signal range, but that's OK for now.

Radio Woodstock (WDST-FM) was my constant companion through a chunk of New York and I loved it. Great DJs, great shows, great taste and diversity in DJ chosen tracks.

Its a community supported station, like they all are, but it is very specific to the area and very needed by the area. They do a ton of local news and events, and they have lots of local programming as well. Its hydro powered, really. You can see the actual hydro powering happening if you go to the station. Very cool. In addition to carrying the NPR stipples (Weekend Today, All Things Considered, etc.) they make space for local talent to cover books, music, farming, Fall Foliage and much much more. Its very homey, and if you go there to make a donation you can meet the "on air" staff, and watch them work. They also do local events, an annual auction, some farm to table dinners and more. This very small station has a very big impact. Keep up the good work.
