The VOICE of the VALLEY
WMRW was started in 2003 when the FCC awarded Rootswork a permit to build a low-powered FM (LPFM) station at the old East Warren Schoolhouse. Rootswork is a local grassroots non-profit organization devoted to promoting sustainable agriculture and community. The schoolhouse is located at the East Warren Four Corners, the intersection of East Warren Road and the Roxbury Mountain Road.
A HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!

WMRW STAY ON THE AIR INTO 2012 !
In WMRWs 'Brand New Show' Department, check out:
"Live N' Well" with returning programmer Chris Mayone just starting up again as of December 2011 on Thursday evenings from 7:30 to 9:00PM. Tune in for great live music, every Thursday evening from 7:30 pm to 9 pm.
Harken to the Howl with Paul Luciano on Sunday evening at 8 PM. The Howl brings us a wild mix of theater, poetry and music to our airwaves.
The Howl is an exploration into the psyche of exuberance and the weird. Oscillating between readings from 1950's handbooks of behavorial medicine to Blake to local authors between tracks ranging from surf rock, 80's and 90's brood pop to both modern and vintage metal. The sub-plot of the show consistently inspires to not only live our lives out but to love our lives out. The show's mantra is "Espresso for the cochlear branch of the Vestibulocohclear nerve!!"
"That's when they get kinda hysterical...that's really cute ain't it?...William Carlos Williams." (J. Kerouac)
And Keeping Up with Jones, is back!
and now on Friday evenings from 7:30 to 9PM with great music and wonderfully entertaining commentary by Kelli Ecroth and Jesse Lavoie.

During 2011, WMRW has continued to percolate with local talent from central Vermont and beyond, producing many original homegrown shows, plus our usual mix of impromptu events and conversations.
We also continue to air "alternative" news and information shows. Over this last year, we have picked up some more interesting shows. For example, "The Pollution Free Revolution", with host Don Hassig originates from upstate New York. By speaking at length to the scientists and activists that are personally working to protect our environment, Don comprehensively covers many important environmental issues, which are hardly mentioned by our mainstream news. These have so far included dioxin emissions, Canadian tar sands pollution, Marcellus Shale oil 'fracking' and more.
A licensee of Rootswork, WMRW is located on the second floor of the East Warren Schoolhouse at the corner of the Roxbury Mountain Gap and the East Warren Rd.
