Good evening, it's Wendsday, November 24rd, and this is the Jive at Five, our daily community calendar and rundown of night time programming here on WESU Middletown, your station for NPR, Pacifica, independent and local public affairs by day, and the best in free-form community programming week-nights and weekends.
I’m Bill Denert, producer and host of Thursday night's Evening Jazz where "hearing is the best experience" and Connecticut's number 1 Washington Nationals fan! Thanks for tuning in!
We're making progress with our Fall 2015 community pledge drive, but we still have a ways to go. So far, over 90 people have collectively raised just over $8,000 but we still need nearly $12,000 to close out this drive. WESU depends on listener support for over a third of our annual budget. If you turn to WESU for information and entertainment you can't find elsewhere, we really do need to hear from you and other who rely on WESU to help keep this community station on air!
