Within the span of a few min-
utes the listener can hear news
of the Persian Gulf occupation
half a world away--and a notice
concerning a gray suitcase lost
from the back of a truck while a
family was moving. Pets avail-
able for adoption, school cafete-
ria menus, political discussions,
hospital admissions and dis-
charges, County Commission
news, and music ranging from
bluegrass and country to classi-
cal--irs all on WVMR, Pocahon-
tas County's first and only radio
station.
Now in its ninth year, WVMR,
whose call letters stand for
"West Virginia Mountain Radio,"
beams its 5,000-watt signal
throughout the mountains and
valleys of eastern West Virginia
and western Virginia. One un-
usual feature of the station is its
large percentage of volunteer
workers. Only six of the 36-
member staff are paid. The re-
mainder are Pocahontas County
residents who come to the stu-
dios to help where they can--in
production, announcing, report-
ing, and office assistance.

The home-spun nature of the
station's format is part of its ap-
peal, General Manager Gibbs
Kinderman:said. "It meets a
need here in this area. People on
WVMR sound like themselves,
not some broadcast-school-
trained people. They reflect the
communities where they live."
The studios are located at the
southern edge of Seneca State
Forest on Highway 28, adjacent
to Pocahontas County High
School. The building is partially
underground, the idea of Omar
Boyer, first president of the
radio's board of directors, and
Jhn Dolan, engineer. WVMR be-
gan as the Pocahontas Commu-
nications Co6perative, a tax-ex-
empt, non-profit organ~ation, in
April 1979 when Pocahontas
County citizens began working
toward the goal of establishing a
local radio station. Volunteers
made a pilot "test run" broad-
cast July 1981 during
Marlinton's Pioneer Days and
began regular operations August
17.
Contributions from numerous
agencies and foundations helped
get the station off the ground,
including a $25,000 matching
grant from the Pocahontas
County Commission. The Poca-
hontas County Board of Educa-
tion leases the land on which
the studios are located at a cost
to the station of $1 per year.
Volunteer labor continues to
be the lifeblood of WVMR. "Pretty
much anyone who wants to can
help here," Mr Kinderman said.
"We train them to work in the
news department, business of-
rice, production department, or
to work on the air." Because of
the volunteer help from through-
out the county, the station is
able to offer a wide variety of lo-
cal news from organizations,
county and municipal govern-
ment bodies, recreational facili-
ties, and churches. Regular local
news programs include the
"Noon Hour Magazine," "This
Week on Mountain Radio News,"
and "Over the Coffee Cup."
Two volunteers have been
working at WVMR since it be-
gan: Dunmore postmistress
