Overview
Mission
Community low-power radio station WNHN FM LP 94.7 to provide information on issues and play music not available locally on the radio dial.
What it reported doing in 2025
Programs providing information on local and national policy issues including interviews with policy experts that provide data developments and the historical background of the issues.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
