WRIU is supported by donations from listeners. So once a year, we hold a big on-air fundraiser called Radiothon. Radiothon usually runs for eight days, from Sunday through Sunday, so you usually get a chance to donate on two shows in a row.
Radiothon 2012 is happening March 25-April 1.
During those two shows, in addition to all the normal music and stuff you hear on the show, you'll also hear a lot of me asking for donations. That's because the station needs money to help keep things up and running. There's a lot of big expensive stuff that we use to broadcast to your radio (and computer), and if we don't ask for money, we might not be able to fix it if it breaks. So even though it isn't that much fun to have to ask for money, it's necessary.
When you make a donation to Radiothon, you also get neat stuff.
Best of all, you get to know that you helped keep the station and the show on the air for another year.
You can call in with your donation during the show using the regular phone numbers (792-9030 or 1-888-303-9748)
You can also donate online by going to the Radiothon section of the WRIU website (Click Here).
If you can donate, it's really appreciated. Thank You!
