📰 News we're reading

• Going underground - The Martha's Vineyard Times (mvtimes.com) — A low-power community radio station is quietly broadcasting from a sub-basement off State Road in Vineyard Haven, filling 96.7 FM with deep cuts and eclectic DJ shows. Run on a shoestring by volunteers, WVVY relies on donations to keep its quirky, ad-free mix on the air. Next time you’re inching toward Cronig’s, tuning in might transform your traffic crawl.
   

• MV Family Campground acquired by national resort company - The Martha's Vineyard Times (mvtimes.com) — Martha’s Vineyard Family Campground on Edgartown–Vineyard Haven Road has been sold to Michigan-based Northgate Holdings, ending decades of Feeney family ownership but keeping rates unchanged for this summer. As the Island’s only family campground and a housing fallback for some locals, the sale continues a broader shift away from locally owned Tisbury businesses and could shape future seasonal lodging and employment.
