Open house scheduled for May 30
With a studio location in place, equipment purchased, and some programming beginning to form, the East Side’s own community radio station, 104.7 WEQY, is on its way to being ready for broadcasting.
“We have all the equipment; we have the antenna,” reports Brenda Reid, project manager for the Dayton’s Bluff Community Council.
The radio station will be designed to serve East Siders, providing local radio content to the majority of the East Side. The station comes out of a 2013 effort by the Dayton’s Bluff Community Council to secure a signal from the FCC during a brief application window. The community council has since secured funding through St. Paul STAR funds to help offset the station’s startup costs.
