We really appreciate your support of both the Civic Media Center and Gainesville Community Radio. Here’s three cheers for free speech in all its forms!

Our History

In 2001, the Civic Media Center applied for a low-power FM permit. After years of waiting Gainesville finally got its own community radio station when WGOT-LP began broadcasting in January of 2008. Originally we shared the 94.7 frequency with two religious stations and could only broadcast for a few hours each day. In 2017 WGOT moved to its own channel – 100.1 – and began 24/7 operations.

Our Mission

  • Take back the public airwaves by providing a fresh, engaging, and empowering approach to news, entertainment, cultural and educational programming.
  • Challenge listeners with factual national, state, and local news from a fresh perspective, and to provide objective information on issues critical to you.
  • Become a public forum for citizen debate and greater democratic participation.
  • Listen to our audience as we decide new avenues to take as an organization.
  • Celebrate our community by highlighting new voices in the arts, especially local musicians, artists, authors, and performers.
  • Dare to be courageous, outrageous, boldly eclectic, unabashedly quirky, and unremittingly innovative.
  • Be the loud, clear, honest, grassroots radio voice of Gainesville.

“[People] in earnest have no time to waste in patching fig-leaves for the naked truth.”
