Our Story
It’s been over 5 years now that we’ve been broadcasting from the spare bedroom at the Bear’s Paw. Sometimes with more effort and sometimes with less! Over the years quite a few community members have donated music, created programming and a few have added their voices to the Radio. Besides reaching out to tourists and community members, and helping add to the unique we-do-it vibe of Wells, I feel like our greatest accomplishment to date has been bringing radio development money to Wells that has helped create employment but more importantly captured the voices of Wells and rebroadcast our modern heritage and history through those voices.
Park Radio itself, operates completely without a budget, advertising income, or any source of revenues. The only support money we’ve received has flowed through to support external projects like “Why’dya come here and Why’dya stay”. Being a community based station means we have almost no boundaries for programming. You’ll see that we focus on regional and canadian music, but we also have developed programs like “Treeplanter Hour” that creatively celebrates the tree planting community, or Wells Musical Goldmine that features artists that have made Wells their creative home. We’re always looking for new voices and programming, and, in the age of cell phones, it’s never been easier to get your voice on the radio. If you have a radio idea, or contribution bring it on!
