Dollars also go to purchase programming from National Public Radio, Public Radio International, the BBC, and American Public Media that also enriches and enlightens listener lives with a variety of program offerings.
Technological advances have allowed WKAR Radio to become a truly global medium not just with its program offerings and news reports from around the world, but also through out website, WKAR.org. Now, anyone can listen to WKAR anytime, anywhere.
“We hope current WKAR Radio members will show their continued support for our programming by renewing their pledge during this last drive of our fiscal year. And, if someone is a listener but not a member, we hope our spring campaign activities will encourage you to take the step from listener to listener-supporter,” explains Laura Peek, WKAR Radio campaign producer.
In addition to supporting the programming, those calling in are eligible to enter a special sweepstakes. The winner will receive a one week stay at the Farfield Harbour Resort in New Bern, North Carolina beginning June 29, 2008 and ending July 6, 2008. This prize is valued at $1,600.
