It's A Conspiracy!!!!
This week all of the public radio stations seem to be fund raising. Usually they scatter their fund raisers over a 3-5 week period, but for some reason all the planets seem to be aligned and there's no place to escape. Guess I'll have to break out some of my old LPs. -- I'm really Mike Rivers ) However, until the spam goes away or Hell freezes over, lots of IP addresses are blocked from this system. If you e-mail me and it bounces, use your secret decoder ring and reach me he double-m-eleven-double-zero at yahoo |

You're fortunate your local stations still air anything worth listening to. Nothing worth my support has aired from public radio in my city in a decade. I was a volunteer on-air engineer when I first moved here. Now I never even listen. |

I donate to WNYC once a year at the fund raiser they usually have at the
beginning of the year. I find it frustrating that WNYC can't just have a fund raiser once a year where everyone gives at that time, keeping the rest of the year open for quality programming. But I realize that's a pipe dream. Cheers, Trevor de Clercq Mike Rivers wrote: This week all of the public radio stations seem to be fund raising.

When one pulled their daytime music programming, I dropped my support. When the other pulled their daytime music programming, I dropped my support. This year I sent my money to a station all the way across the country becuase I can still count on them for listenable background music just about any time. Which one is that? My local station, http://www.wuga.org/ still does some local programming, including two hosted classical shows, plus some local music shows. And they're available on webcast. jtougas listen- there's a hell of a good universe next door let's go e.e. cummings |

Mick Martin's Blues Party, Saturday afternoons from 1:00 to 5:00 on Sacramento's KXJZ stations, is worth supporting! I was a volunteer on-air engineer when I first moved here.

One station here in Vancouver that makes a point of NOT playing requests, ran an all-day "tsunami" fundraiser where they would play literally ANY requests, for a minimum donation. One guy took advantage of it to get them to play a couple of his own songs I didn't hear them, but I'm told they were "just okay"... --- avast! Antivirus: Outbound message clean.

I have a friend from Ashland who tapes the whole show when he is down here visiting and takes it home with him. |

But that station went from the #1 award-winning Jazz station in the country to news all day. They immediately lost my $$$. |
