The Mission of WGVU

WGVU's continued mission is to provide educational, informative, and entertaining programs and events to the West Michigan community as a service of Grand Valley State University.

An open letter to you, our loyal viewer

This month is our annual spring TV Membership Drive. We have special programs like Over Hawai’i, Healthy Hormones, Blood Sugar Solution with Dr. Mark Hyman, and the Story of Jesus. Favorites have returned with new series such as Dr. Wayne Dyer – Wishes Fulfilled, Ed Slott’s Retirement Rescue, Knit and Crochet Now!, and many more. For our younger viewers, The Cat In The Hat Knows A Lot About That! marathon beginning March 2. WGVU strives to have something for everyone. It is your generosity that has made these programs possible. Thank you in advance for your support during this TV Membership Drive. You can call 800-266-9420 or go to www.wgvu.org/support to make your contribution.

Potential funding reductions are always a possibility for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB). It’s hard to predict the impact reductions might have on WGVU Public Media. What we do know is that WGVU would not be where it is today without your continued support and the support of all of our loyal listeners and viewers. To help you stay current with these potential funding reductions for CPB, please consider enrolling in 170MillionAmericans.org.

Real Oldies Loyal Listeners had their first “sock hop” of the year at the 5/3 Ballpark Pepsi Stadium. Everyone in attendance enjoyed a wonderful evening. As Bob Becker played tunes from the 50s, 60s and early 70s, members danced and sang along with their favorite songs. Others were busy reminiscing about the “old days” and meeting new friends. Don’t miss the next sock hop Saturday, April 7 – same place same time. Listen to 850 & 1480 AM for all of your favorite oldies throughout the week.

You can always find more about WGVU by checking this issue of Showplace, visiting our website at www.wgvu.org, or calling us at 800-442-2771. Please be sure to “Friend” WGVU on Facebook.

Thank you for your continued support of WGVU.
