Wimberley’s community radio station, KWVH 94.3 FM, announced that its long-anticipated signal upgrade is nearly complete. Installers will attach antennas on their new tower site this week when weather permits, effectively doubling the station’s reach across the Wimberley Valley. Its broadcast transmission power increased from 30 watts to 100 watts, allowing thousands more listeners to tune into KWVH, about twice the number of radios that could previously receive their signal. Listeners on the outskirts of Wimberley, in Woodcreek, Driftwood, Kyle, and Canyon Lake will be able to receive critical news and emergency information as well as programming in their cars and homes thanks to the new upgrade.
