Good evening, it's Thursday, November 26th, Happy Thanksgiving. 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 Ben Michael, 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, just over over 100 people have collectively raised roughly $10,000 to support community radio at WESU but we still need another $10,000 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 others who rely on WESU to help keep this community station on air! Don't be like the majority of listeners who take this service for granted. Become radio active and join the small group of people who sustain this service that serves so many. Please donate online at wesufm.org/pledge
