WDVX will be able to replace a broadcast transmitter thanks to a grant
from the Public Telecommunications Facilities Program, but they will
need to raise some of the funds to make it happen.

According to a release, in order to satisfy the grant match and purchase
other equipment that is needed, the station needs to raise $11,000 on
it's own.

The station is reaching out to its viewers for help to receive the funds
on August 25, 2010.

The station's transmitter on Cross Mountain in Campbell County was
damaged during a storm on May 5, 2010. Although the webcast remained,
the station was off the air for five days with only few local
broadcasts.

The funds will allow the station to receive a new transmitter and
antenna which is 40 feet higher than the old one for a clearer sound,
transmission lines, surge protectors, and electrical work.
