 Big Rapids Wireless Inc. was founded to provide media and educational opportunities to underserved populations in the Big Rapids and Mecosta County area, with a particular emphasis on the LGBTQ+ community that receives little to no attention in local commercial media. 

Big Rapids Wireless will make volunteer programming and operational opportunities to local residents, including local high school students, to learn about media and communications and to provide interviews and news programming about the LGBTQ+ community. Big Rapids Wireless will also provide educational opportunities to students from Ferris State University, which does not have its own broadcast station, and other nearby

colleges.
