 Dear Listener, Our recent fall membership drive was a good reminder about the reach of WICN, and the quality of our listenership. While the majority of our listeners receive WICN the "old fashioned" way, aka: the radio, we have seen increasing support from folks that stream. California, Texas, North Carolina, Florida and Australia (!) are just a few examples of where WICN receives support. The reaction is similar, "I discovered your station on the internet and I love it!" While central Massachusetts, Metro West, southern New Hampshire, northern Rhode Island and Connecticut will always be our home, it's nice to know that our back porch extends, literally, around the world.
