Keep Wimberley's Voice on the Air -- Thanks For Giving Radiothon Begins Today!!
Wimberley Valley Radio is kicking off its annual Thanks for Giving Radiothon TODAY, and we're asking YOU to help keep community radio strong! As a nonprofit, listener-supported station, KWVH depends on contributions from listeners, local businesses, and community supporters to keep us on air.
We need your help to keep our award-winning programming on air -- things like:
One-of-a-kind, hyper-local programming that's informative and entertaining -- that you can't get anywhere else
Support for more than 120 nonprofit organizations that directly benefit our community
Broadcasts of dozens of Texan football, volleyball, basketball, softball, baseball, and soccer games as well as frequent informational WISD updates for parents
Timely weather and news reports when the Valley faces dangerous weather or events that affect you and your family.
Unlike commercial stations, KWVH doesn't rely on traditional advertising or government funding to pay those bills. That's why every contribution, large or small, one-time or sustaining, makes a real difference! Donate today by clicking the button above, or by dialing call 512-722-3266, or drop off a check at 111 Old Kyle Road, Suite 108, in Wimberley.
Your community, your station, your support!
Texans Football & Volleyball Continue Playoff Push
It's an exciting time for Wimberley Texan athletics, with both the football and volleyball teams enjoying outstanding seasons and chasing state championships!
The undefeated Texan football team wrapped up its regular season Thursday, November 5, with a commanding 65-0 shutout of Austin Eastside Early College, improving to 9-0 overall. The Texans now turn their attention to the playoffs, where they'll face the Salado Eagles this Thursday at 7pm in Cedar Park.
Meanwhile, the Lady Texan volleyball team continues its impressive postseason run following a four-set victory over Navarro last Friday. Next up is the regional final showdown against the Cuero Gobblers tomorrow at 6:30 at Seguin High School. A win would send the Lady Texans into the state semifinals!
Tune into all the action this week on KWVH. And don't forget --- you can catch up on all things Texan this evening at 6:30pm for the Wes Lambert Coach's Show on KWVH 94.3.
GO TEXANS!

Veteran's Day is This Wednesday.
This Wednesday is Veterans Day, a time to honor the brave men and women who have served in our nation's armed forces. Here in the Wimberley Valley, we're fortunate to have many veterans among our friends, families, and neighbors who have sacrificed to protect our country and our freedoms.
All area military veterans are invited to attend the annual ceremony at Wimberley High School's Texan Gym on Wednesday at 9am. The event will feature performances by student groups including the Texan Band and the combined junior high/high school choir. The patriotic event will also include the Hays County Sheriff's Office Honor Guard, student speakers, and the recognition of all veterans in attendance. The front entrance to the gym is adjacent to the main parking lot.
Take a moment this Wednesday to thank a veteran for their service, whether with a handshake, a phone call, or a few heartfelt words of appreciation. From all of us at KWVH Wimberley Valley Radio, thank you to our veterans for your courage, commitment, and service to our nation!
VFW Post 6441 and KWVH Salute Our Veteran of the Week
This week, VFW Post 6441 and KWVH salute U.S. Air Force Master Sergeant Glen Straube, who proudly served his country for 21 years, from 1974 to 1995. During his Air Force career, Glen served as a Civil Engineer and Explosive Ordnance Disposal Technician in Texas. His work required technical expertise, precision, and courage, dealing with dangerous explosive devices and helping keep people and facilities
safe.
After completing his military service, Glen continued his career of public service with the Texas Department of Transportation, beginning a second career with TXDOT.
Now retired and living in Wimberley, Glen represents the dedication and commitment to service that make our veterans such valuable members of our community.
UNDERWRITER SPOTLIGHT
This month, we spotlight our longtime underwriter Hill Country Collision, a family-owned auto body shop proudly serving the Texas Hill Country since 1999. When you choose Hill Country Collision, your vehicle is repaired with genuine OEM parts—never cheap aftermarket substitutes. Thanks to Hill Country Collision for sustaining Wimberley Valley Radio.
