To capture the essence of the Thanksgiving season, the Reshoring Initiative would like to give thanks to the many companies that reshored, the government programs that helped to incentivize companies to reshore, and the dedicated organizations and individuals that continue to support the Reshoring Initiative.
Thank You for Reshoring
Hello. WLEA and WCKR have reached a solution with a sister station WYSL Avon NY to remain on the air. We will NOT be going silent on November 11th as planned but continuing our service to the community with WYSL streaming over 1480 AM WLEA /106.9 and FM WCKR FM 92.1. We will honor all our commercials, advertisements and be able to keep faith with our community and our sponsors.
We will honor our word and are very grateful to our community.
We wish to thank everyone who has supported us in this difficult time.
Thank you to our sister station WYSL, the Ichikawa family for helping us save the station, thank you to our sponsors and the Canisteo Valley Community.
Thank you to Mayor Buckley for helping to save WLEA/WCKR for the community.
Thank you, Hornell and our Friends and Neighbors, and listeners.
Correction on Silencing of our broadcasts.
A Terrible misunderstanding afoot.
WLEA and WCKR are going silent as we can no longer continue as a business in this economy.
The New Owners have for the record been supporting us for over two years at no interest.
They are at the limit. They have been extremely generous and patient.
Please do not malign these wonderful people.
We the Doran Family, I Brendan Doran VP and General Manager are not succeeding as a business for some time. We have been supporting the shortfalls in sales from pocket for some years.
We can no longer continue.
At no point has the incoming owners been anything but generous.
Nor do I or the family blame the community or our sponsors. The business just has been unprofitable too long. Simply put the economy has been buffeted and disrupted past the ability of many including us to weather the downturn any longer. Remember we as well are energy intensive as transmitters and board equipment eat a lot of electricity. The price of power rising definitely has eaten all improvements we saw in sales as the recovery from COVID began. We are not alone in this situation.
We blame no one. The community has been extremely supportive. Something was badly written last night without anger to suggest the community wasn’t supportive, nothing could be further from the truth.
I’m sorry but the money just isn’t there now, I think it will come back, perhaps so will we.
I admit to my own misjudgments of the business although they were honest mistakes.
We will be keeping a web presence on our wlea.net web page. wlea.net
We hope to resume operations soon. I close with a personal apology to the new owners and to any who thought that post written badly but not in anger who were upset. Again, this is a misunderstanding, and the direct opposite of the truth as regards the community and the new owners, who only got involved to help our community and family.
Let’s see what good we can do in the future. We don’t get anywhere blaming others in particular extraordinarily decent people who have helped us all so long.
Thank you all
