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%?

Tieriq Pinnix, 32, was indicted on June 18 by a federal grand jury for possessing an FNH 9mm handgun and ammunition on March 6 in York County, despite being legally prohibited from owning firearms due to past convictions. His arrest stems from an investigation by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), Northern York Regional Police, and York Police Department.
The indictment is part of the Department of Justice’s Operation Take Back America, a national initiative aimed at dismantling drug cartels, reducing violent crime, and enhancing community safety through collaborative enforcement efforts. As the case proceeds, Pinnix remains presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.

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?
If convicted, Pinnix could face a sentence of up to 15 years in prison, along with supervised release and financial penalties. Sentencing decisions will be made by a federal judge, who will consider federal sentencing guidelines and statutes.
