Did you know? Paid supporters get a reduced ad experience!

We know you value local news and entertainment that is free, open, and independent. Producing high-quality, paywall-free content isn't free. It takes time, effort, and resources to keep you informed and entertained. Unlike corporate media, we don’t have deep-pocketed investors or big advertisers funding our work—we rely on you, our readers and listeners, to keep Radio Free Hub City running. We're literally running on a shoe-string budget, but keep working hard to provide as much news and entertainment as we can.
If just 5% of local area residents became paid supporters at only $5 per month, we could meet our fundraising goals and continue expanding our news coverage depth while continuing to provide free access for everyone. So, if you'd like to help us in our continuing quest to improve our coverage, please consider becoming a paying supporter.
Will you be one of the 5%?
Thank you for supporting Radio Free Hub City!
This partnership aligns with USMH’s mission to deliver accessible and affordable higher education. As USMH marks its 20th anniversary, the addition of UBalt’s MBA program represents a strategic effort to address the region’s evolving workforce needs. With Hagerstown’s growing role as a business hub, the program is expected to help equip professionals with managerial and leadership skills essential for business growth.
UBalt’s MBA program, accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB), integrates contemporary business trends, including artificial intelligence, data analytics, and soft skills development. Additionally, students can receive specialized training in healthcare and government management through UBalt’s College of Public Administration, broadening career opportunities for graduates.

We didn't pick our name by accident. While other outlets are proud to be government 'Partners,' we are proud to be exactly what our namesake requires: Free from government influence, and free from government censorship. We don't lock our news behind a paywall, will you help us keep it that way? If you're tired of news sweetened with confirmation bias that never questions the 'official story', consider becoming a monthly supporter. Just $5/month helps fund our local reporting, live election night coverage, and more.
Enrollment is now open for the program, with interested students encouraged to apply online. Businesses seeking professional development opportunities for employees can schedule consultations to explore options for workforce training.
