If it's happening in Carroll County, you can hear about it on WTTR. From church suppers to youth organization functions to community events, WTTR broadcasts tens of thousands of public service announcements every year, and broadcasts live from many events in the area.

Put your non-profit organization's events on WTTR--on the air and on the website--by emailing a flyer about three weeks before the event to info@wttr.com! Note: If your organization is having a raffle or bingo or anything else that requires a gambling permit from the county, WTTR must also have a copy of the permit before we can put your PSA on the air.
