WKDU is undergoing some heavy lifting very soon!

Starting today, June 11th, we will be broadcasting in a remote-only scenario. This will continue until the end of June, but can vary. The summer schedule is still on, you'll just find all programming remotely such as with the COVID schedules we had.

This is happening because WKDU is finally undergoing the long-awaited digital infrastructure upgrade! This is with the funds that we raised for our 50th anniversary in July of 2021. THANK YOU to all that have contributed, your support is finally coming through with this project and we could not thank you enough ❤️

Apart from this, work on the roof of Van R will cut our antenna wattage by 50% as again. This will begin on June 14th, continuing until August 15th.

Keep a lookout for more postings about the big upgrade, we're excited to show you all some major changes :)
