YARMOUTH, Maine — Yarmouth-based WYAR 88.3 FM radio station hasn't been on the air in a few weeks.
That's because the powerful October windstorm tore down massive tree branches that damaged the stations' satellite connection.
Now, WYAR station manager says it is facing an approximately $8,000 cost to stabilize its radio tower and repair a damaged cable.
That's a heavy hit since $8,000 is approximately half the station's operating cost for the entire year.
WYAR is a 501(c)(3) non-profit. Therefore, "Go Fund Me" pages are problematic. However, the community can donate through a "network for good" link on its website wyar.org.
The donations go directly to WYAR.
