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.

The event will take place on May 9, 2025, at 10 a.m. in the City Hall Board Room. Members of the public and media are invited to attend in person, with a livestream also available through the City of Frederick’s website and Facebook page. The announcement underscores the administration’s focus on strengthening social support systems and addressing community needs through effective leadership.
Campbell’s appointment comes as the department continues to play a central role in the city’s efforts to provide housing assistance, social services, and support programs to residents. The selection of a new director is viewed by city officials as a key step in maintaining continuity and enhancing service delivery.
