WRVO Public Media is celebrating a milestone in 2019. On January 6, 1969, WRVO aired its very first broadcast. Through the year, we'll be commemorating our 50th birthday with special events, announcements, programs and more -- all available here.We couldn't have done this without you, our listeners and members. We hope you'll spend time with us this year, either by listening or at one of our special events. Our service remains strong because of your support and that of organizations and businesses in our community.Here's to the next 50 years of regional news, the latest from NPR, insightful stories and some laughs on the weekend!

Creating great public radio requires time, effort and money. As we celebrate our first 50 years, please consider making an additional -- or first-time --$50 gift to WRVO.

Everyone at WRVO is thankful for the thousands of listeners who make voluntary contributions to keep this public service strong, but we came up a little short in our recent spring fundraiser. If we missed you during the drive, donate now, during the month of May. If we're able to raise the money we need now, we won't have to interrupt programming later.

Join this 50 for 50 campaign and make sure the news you depend on will be there for you in the weeks and months to come. Make your contribution at the Donate button above or call (800) 341-3690.

Recent cuts to federal funding are challenging our mission to serve central and upstate New York with trusted journalism, vital local coverage, and the diverse programming that informs and connects our communities. This is the moment to join our community of supporters and help keep journalists on the ground, asking hard questions that matter to our region.

Stand with public media and make your gift today—not just for yourself, but for all who depend on WRVO as a trusted resource and civic cornerstone in central and upstate New York.
