Building a radio station from scratch is a massive undertaking. We have cleared the regulatory hurdles and secured the license. Now comes the “hardware” phase—the expensive part.

Call to Action:

To do a show
Where Your Donation Goes:

The Transmitter: The beating heart of the station that pushes the signal out to the city.
The Antenna Installation: Climbing the tower and rigging the steel that lets The Kraken speak.
Emergency Alert System (EAS) Decoder: A federal requirement that ensures we can keep Brunswick safe during disasters.
Studio Gear: The microphones, mixers, and processors that make our local voices sound crystal clear.

The Mission: Why We Need to Launch:

Low Power FM (LPFM) is a rare and precious resource. It is the last bastion of truly free, independent media in the United States. When we secured the construction permit for 95.7, we secured a megaphone for Brunswick—a way to share local music, local news, and local emergency information without a corporate filter.

The Kraken isn’t just a radio station; it’s the voice of the community. We are:

Local Artists: Who never get airtime on the big commercial stations.
Local Non-Profits: Who need a voice to reach their neighbors, storytellers
Emergency Ops: providing a lifeline during hurricane season when the internet goes down.

Donation Tiers:

$25 – The Spark
$100 – The Voice
$500 – The Amplifier
$1,000 – The Kraken’s Guard

Help Flip the Switch on Brunswick’s Voice! 🎙️🦑

As the year comes to a close, Brunswick Community Radio, Inc. invites you to invest in the future of our local airwaves. You’ve heard the buzz about WBWK 95.7 "The Kraken"—now help us bring it to life.

Every dollar we raise—from securing our transmitter and antenna to equipping our studios—is guided by our mission to amplify local voices and provide true independent media for our city.

Your donation builds the infrastructure Brunswick needs:
📡 The Hardware: Purchasing the transmitter and climbing the tower to install our antenna.
📢 Local Voices: Creating a platform for local artists, musicians, and storytellers.
🚨 Safety: Establishing vital Emergency Alert Systems for hurricane season.
🏙️ Connection: Providing a commercial-free space for community dialogue.

How you can help: This season, please consider a monthly pledge (become a "Kraken Keeper"!) or a one-time year-end gift. Your contribution provides the power we need to flip the switch and keep the signal strong.

Together, we can build a station that is for Brunswick, by Brunswick.
