Giving Tuesday – December 2nd: Flip the Kraken Switch ON
Building a radio station from scratch is a massive undertaking. We have cleared the regulatory hurdles and secured the license. Now comes the “hardware” phase—the expensive part.
Call to Action:

- Sign up to volunteer
- Help with fundraising
- Come up with programming
- To do a show
Where Your Donation Goes:
- The Transmitter: The beating heart of the station that pushes the signal out to the city.
- The Antenna Installation: Climbing the tower and rigging the steel that lets The Kraken speak.
- Emergency Alert System (EAS) Decoder: A federal requirement that ensures we can keep Brunswick safe during disasters.
Studio Gear: The microphones, mixers, and processors that make our local voices sound crystal clear.
The Mission: Why We Need to Launch:
Low Power FM (LPFM) is a rare and precious resource. It is the last bastion of truly free, independent media in the United States. When we secured the construction permit for 95.7, we secured a megaphone for Brunswick—a way to share local music, local news, and local emergency information without a corporate filter.
The Kraken isn’t just a radio station; it’s the voice of the community. We are:
- Local Artists: Who never get airtime on the big commercial stations.
- Local Non-Profits: Who need a voice to reach their neighbors, storytellers
- Emergency Ops: providing a lifeline during hurricane season when the internet goes down.
Donation Tiers:
- $25 – The Spark
- $100 – The Voice
- $500 – The Amplifier
- $1,000 – The Kraken’s Guard

Why WBWK 95.7 The Kraken
One Station, Many Voices
We will celebrate that colorful, exciting, beautiful, innovative and quirky place we call home. Programs will be engaging, high-quality and original, focusing on telling the stories of life here on the central coast. Think: musicians, artists, writers, dancers, scientists, intellectuals, workers, children, youth, seniors, non-profit leaders, historians, and more!
Local Journalism
In times like these, we need rapid access to trustworthy local information. Our station will broadcast news and interviews based on the journalistic ethics and standards of truthfulness, accuracy, objectivity, impartiality, fairness and public accountability.
Celebrate Music
Our region is home to a diverse array of musical tastes and traditions. The central coast has earned a reputation for fostering eclectic sounds, educating youth, and bringing people together through festivals. We’re here to take it to the next level. All the way to 11.
Love Your Local Media
Community media means its ours. As an all-volunteer effort, we’ve put our heart and soul into creating a station we can all be proud of, and all take part in. But that mean we each need to pitch in.
