A new studio and more power...

UPDATE: Our new antenna is being built for delivery in May! Our power increase (to 3,000 watts from 53) will provide full "listen inside" coverage to the entire island. We'll move from 100.1 to 91.9 on the FM dial. Our new studios will include room for multiple guests and small ensembles and include a view of the BIC Center Theater to facilitate live programming from its stage. We'll keep you up to date on these exciting developments and look forward to bringing you and even stronger Voice of Beaver Island.

New shows on WVBI...

We are always excited to add new programs to our lineup. Our latest addition is Heading for the Couch with Tom Herbert. Tune in Fridays to hear Tom's take on the latest shows you can stream at home and enjoy after Heading for the Couch. We've also added Stardate, a look at the dark skies above our Island from the McDonald Observatory in Texas. It joins the Storyteller's Night Sky with Mary Stewart Adams in informing enjoyment of the Island's Dark Sky Sanctuary. Is there another show you'd like to hear? Let us know about it. Or help make it. We can show you how to produce your own show live or recorded in our studios or even recorded in your home, whether your home is here or far away. No matter where you are it’s easy and fun to bring your ideas to life right here on WVBI.

You can help

We’re counting on it. WVBI is an independent, nonprofit, community-run radio station 100% staffed by volunteers. We depend on local supporters like you to keep the Voice of Beaver Island on the air. Please join your fellow islanders from near and far who are investing to assure the future of the best radio station on the planet.
