Pledge Drive Madness!

As you may or may not know, I am the music director at KRFC fm in Fort Collins Colorado. This is a job I’ve had for a few months, and I’ve been thoroughly enjoying it so far. If you haven’t heard about KRFC before, it is a volunteer run, commercial free, community radio station that serves Northern Colorado with great independent music, local news and public affairs programs by members of the community. I was a volunteer long before I became an employee, and I believe that the station does a wonderful service to by providing news and entertainment that you just can’t get anywhere else.

Getting right to the chase, KRFC is in the midst of it spring membership drive. We’re trying to raise $45,000 this week from listener contributions to help keep the station on the air. It costs about $800 dollars a day to keep a station like KRFC up and running! We doing fine so far, but we’ve still got a long ways to go.

In addition to being the music director at the station, I also act as a DJ on the Morning Mix on Thursdays from 8am to 10am, and the Symphony Hour on Sundays from 4pm to 5pm. Each show has a dollar amount goal that they try to reach, and my goal for the Morning Mix is $725. The Symphony Hour’s time has already come and gone, (and I made my goal) but I think I’m going to need a little help on the Morning Mix. If you’ve got a few extra dollars burning a hole in your pocket, we sure could use them around here! Listen in at 88.9 fm in Northern Colorado, or listen online at krfcfm.org/stream/.

Of course we do give something back to you. Besides the fabulous KRFC programming you get, we do have premiums at the various contribution levels. You can find out more about them here.

You can pledge your support online at krfcfm.org/Donate/member.php or by calling the station at 970-221-5075 or toll free at 1-866-221-5065

Alright, that’s the end of my commercial for non-commercial radio.
