“Converge fam, we have been dying to share this news with you. WE ARE BACK ON AIR! Our new home is 101.9FM! We cannot wait to continue bringing local and independent music to the airwaves of the Chippewa Valley.
Additionally, we found our studio’s new home in Pablo Center at the Confluence and could not be more stoked about our new space.
Thank you for sticking with us and for continuing to support Converge Radio. A huge thanks to Valley Media Works in helping us get back on air, Pablo Center at the Confluence for getting us a great new studio space, Uniting Bridges for taking us on as our parent organization, and of course all of the Converge volunteers and hardworking folks who helps make this happen!”
