Good evening, it's Friday, June 2nd. This is the Jive at Five, our daily community calendar and rundown of nighttime programming here on 88.1 FM WESU Middletown. By day, WESU offers talk radio from NPR and Pacifica, as well as independent and local public affairs sources. Weeknights and weekends our student and community volunteers bring you the best in free-form programming.
I'm Ben Michael, thanks for joining us. Asking you to take the work we do here at WESU seriously. Our fiscal year end is fast approaching. Right now, we still need $7,000 to balance our budget. At a rate of one or two pledges per day, we will not meet our goal and community radio will be in jeopardy at WESU. If you value the work we do, what will it take to gain your support? If you value the work we do here and come back each day to hear new perspectives from your own community and beyond or to hear new and old music you can’t find elsewhere, then we are depending on you. Please help a station out. Make a donation today. Don’t assume we can continue to do this without your help. Donate today online at www.wesufm.org/pledge Thank You.
