KWVH Was There for Thursday's Storm.
When news breaks out, we break in -- and last Thursday's wind and hail storm is the latest example of that. Just as the storm was blowing in, KWVH's Tanya Tyler and Brach Thomas interrupted Texan Baseball programming for a weather advisory. GM Tim Kiesling continued to provide live updates remotely until midnight.
Then bright and early Friday morning, Tanya, Brach, and Tim were in studio with more updates from the prior night's chaos. Yeoman's work! Once again, KWVH was the only place to get real-time updates on the situation in the Wimberley Valley.
KWVH Named Best Non-Profit for 2024 By the Wimberley View!
We are proud -- and humbled -- to announce that KWVH has been voted the Best Non-Profit of 2024 by the readers of the Wimberley View! It's our first time to win this honor, which isn't easy to do in a community with DOZENS of worthwhile non-profit and civic organizations. We take pride in relentlessly promoting their events and fundraisers, too!
KWVH was also voted as Best Local Sports Coverage. 94.3-FM is your source for not only Wimberley Texan sports coverage, but we support and promote our school district's excellent academics, events, and extracurricular activities.
This honor really belongs to our volunteers, underwriters, and listeners who understand the importance of live and local community radio. Thanks also to Tim Kiesling and Brach Thomas for everything they do to keep us going every day.
Hats Off to Cody Abney, This Month's State Farm
Wimberley Good Neighbor Volunteer!

And through his work with the Parks Board, Cody also helped build the gazebo at Triangle Park, the new playscape at Creekside Park, and is currently working to revitalize Augusta Park.
The KWVH Volunteer of the month is Ann Guilford, who has been a vital part of our KWVH fundraising team and volunteer coordinator. The Wimberley Non-Profit of the Month is Camp Community! It's a nonprofit organization that believes all children should be afforded the opportunity to succeed in life beyond the classroom— no matter what. As school wraps up this spring, Camp Community organizes fun, enriching programs ranging from after-school classes to summer camp.
