WFMU needs a bit more of your money, please

The best radio station in the world is beset by the same recession/depression woes as the rest of us.

In order to make up the shortfall from the Spring 2009 marathon (which was only 2 weeks long), the station is having a 24-hour fundraising drive.

Please keep in mind that unlike 99.9% of listener-sponsored radio stations in the US, WFMU:

1) Actually runs completely on listener donations

2) Does not have commercials by another name, i.e; no corporate underwriting, no spot announcements. No advertising, just listeners, the way it spozed to be.

3) Has only one marathon a year, only two weeks long, unlike most stations with months of fundraising.

4) Offers fundraising premiums that are exceptionally cool; no logo totebags or lame-o umbrellas.

Pledging is easy, and you get a vast choice of great free swag with your donation.

Give it up, por favor.

Gracias.
