AIM Moves to AIM Live!
AIM will shut down our radio stream, wera.fm, Saturday, January 20, 2024 and AIM-TV Monday, January 22, 2024 to pack up our equipment and move to AIM Live!
What does this mean? This means that we will be off air on TV (Comcast 69 and Verizon 38) and our stream at wera.fm will be down. You will continue to hear music through our transmitter on WERA 96.7 FM.
We will be back on air once we’ve completed our move and we look forward to serving the Arlington Community in our new location.
Stay tuned to this space. We’ll announce when we’re back on air.
