Its the seventh day of WEMUs fall on air pledge drive and we want to thank the hundreds of you who have already pledged your support. We have two days left in this pledge drive and we are thousands of dollars away from our goal. Over the past three years, funding from traditional sources has dropped from being more than 60% of WEMUs operating budget to just over 25% of our budget. Reductions in state funding to higher education and a four year freeze on federal funding levels have made it necessary to turn to individuals and businesses to make up the difference. Thanks to you, WEMU has been able to remain a dual format, live and local community public radio station. So, today we are asking you again to make that investment in community public radio. It costs approximately $300 an hour to bring you the combination of news, music, and NPR programs that you expect when you turn WEMU on. For every hour that you invest in WEMU, you receive an instant return of 168 hours of commercial free radio. No other commodity has such an instant return. Please make your gift of support today either online at wemu.org or by calling 888.299.8910. As partners in the community, we depend on each other and today we are depending on you. Thank you.
