Another Green Monday: KYRS pledge drive is fast approaching October 6th-October 12th
It’s hard to believe, but Bart Mihailovich and I have been doing our weekly KYRS radio show for almost two years. It’s been a wonderful experience, and we look forward to many more years to come! As I’m sure you’ve heard, our Fall On-Air Fund Drive will begin this Thursday on October 6th and run through Wednesday October 12th. This could be the most important fund drive we’ll ever be a part of since the 4-piece antenna is up, the studio-to-transmitter link dish is up, and the refrigerator-sized transmitter is in. KYRS is nearly there but we still need your help to make it all happen. We need to raise $25,000. Luptio Flores said the station has raised almost 75% of the $100,000 needed to get the new full power station up and running on 88.1FM.
Your support allows great community radio to continue to thrive, and everyone benefits from the in-depth public affairs programming and diverse musical talents aired everyday on KYRS. This boost will make KYRS go from from 100 watts to 6,5000 watts and double our coverage area. We are a volunteer-powered, non-commercial, listener-supported, community radio station. We depend on people like you to keep the station going strong.
We'll offer special prizes for donors when we our show airs live on Tuesday at 12:30pm, October 11th. (And also a very special surprise guest!) Remember, you can pay overtime. Whether you’re a loyal listener or not, there is something about KYRS and community radio that effects you – yes, even those of you far away from Spokane.
During the Fund Drive we will be asking for your financial support – but this isn’t just about supporting the operations of the radio station - this is supporting diversity in the community, this is supporting sustainability in Spokane, and this is supporting a free, independent voice here and everywhere.
For $35 you can become a KYRS member. Your gift is tax deductible and you will be making an investment into our community. We encourage you to give whatever you can as every little bit helps. Please visit this site HERE and consider donating today. If you do decide to support us, support KYRS, and support community radio, please mark in the comments section of “check out” that you’re donating for the Down To Earth show or call 509-747-3807 and tell them Down To Earth sent you.
Bart and I really appreciate whatever you can do!
