WUWU-LPFM 100.1
With support from a Michigan Humanities grant, WUWU will screen three documentary films that explore the complexities of our democratic system and the role we all play in shaping its future. We hope to foster meaningful conversations about democracy and civic engagement following the films. If you are interested in being a part of the conversation, you can record your thoughts by clicking the button below. By recording, you are granting WUWU permission to broadcast your comments on air. We will be playing initial responses on April 29th and 30th between 9-11am. Please include your name. (90 second maximum)
Low power community radio station WUWU 100.1 was launched by the Elberta Labor Heritage Center (ELHC) in the summer of 2024.
The radio station will be a vital informational resource for the village of Elberta and surrounding areas engaging with the community to understand the past, to gain perspective on the present, and to play an informed role in shaping the future, not to mention playing great music! Programming will be a combination of programs produced locally by community volunteers and syndicated programming.
David Beaton, one of the ELHC Board Members, previously founded WSLR-LP in Sarasota, FL and fell in love with Elberta when he and his partner bought a foreclosed property in the village in 2019.
“We choose WUWU to be the call letters for the station to reflect the history of the railroad and car ferries in Elberta”, says Beaton.
The non-profit has launched a “What’s Up With Us” e-newsletter to help keep people informed of their activities. To sign up to receive updates you can email [email protected] with the subject “Subscribe” in your message.
