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!
As part of the agreement, Chamber members and their dependents will receive significant tuition discounts. Employees of member organizations are eligible for a 20% reduction on accelerated undergraduate and graduate courses through MSMU’s Division of Continuing Studies (DCS). Dependents under the age of 23 will qualify for a minimum 60% discount on traditional undergraduate coursework at MSMU’s main campus in Emmitsburg.

In a time where local news media coverage seems to be disappearing, your contribution is more important than ever. While our in-depth articles are for supporting members only, we won’t put our core news content behind a paywall, because we believe access to news should be democratized, instead of access for only those who can afford it.
But keeping the lights on and taking the fight to local accountability takes resources. Your monthly subscription directly funds our public records requests, website hosting, and time spent analyzing local government and events so you don’t have to.
We are the only newsroom in Washington County with facts-first focus, locally owned, independent, while keeping our core news content free. Will you help us keep it that way?
MSMU’s continuing studies programs include fields such as business administration, logistics, applied behavior analysis, biotechnology, and data science, among others. The traditional undergraduate offerings span disciplines like cybersecurity, neuroscience, criminal justice, political science, and education. The reduced tuition does not cover additional costs such as books, supplies, or fees.
The Washington County Chamber of Commerce, founded in 1919, supports businesses and nonprofits in the region, aiming to foster growth and economic development. MSMU has a longstanding commitment to professional education and workforce development, with its continuing studies programs operating from the university’s Frederick campus and online.
